Comments by "" (@pwrserge83) on "VICE News" channel.

  1. Nice to see VICE perpetuating the racist meme that being white and loving your country is somehow a bad thing.
    184
  2. Oh look... When a crazy white guy shoots up a church, let's blame the confederate flag. Crazy muslim shoots up a night club in furtherance of what his holy book tells him to do... Don't blame Islam... Hypocrisy much?
    163
  3. "Peaceful protest" my ass. That was a borderline riot. Protesters don't wear masks or attack police.
    115
  4. So France... How you feeling the Bern?
    112
  5. Update. PA State Department has already slammed the door on a recount in PA as Stein didn't meet the deadline. It's over. Sorry cunts, no amount if "recounts" will keep Trump out of the White House.
    94
  6. Well, I see the Ukrainian government is as corrupt and ineffectual as ever.
    80
  7. That's an awfully nice phone for a "refugee"...
    78
  8. So... This was different from any other Monday in Kenya... how?
    64
  9. +Carlos Barrett She got the maximum sentence under the law. Her race had nothing to do with it.
    58
  10. So... First he had "ties" to "Britain First" that was proven to be bullshit. Now he has "ties" to "Neo Nazis"... Care to throw out any more bullshit?
    55
  11. Here's wacky idea... Don't do drugs. Quite frankly, the consequences of your choices are your problem. It is not the job of tax payers to take care of your worthless ass. When I nearly lost my leg, I was on the strongest pain killers available for weeks and on Vicodin for over a year. Guess what. I didn't need detox to quit taking drugs that were wrecking my body. It's called self control and discipline. Get some.
    49
  12. Don't like sitting at the border? Go home. You're not our problem.
    44
  13. +Hunting Shark1 Hate to break it to you, but they are not "fighting back". They started this bullshit. You lose the ability to play the victim card when your entire people exist purely to exterminate an entire ethnic group.
    42
  14. Actually, she represents corruption and treason, but given who's in office right now, that WOULD be the status quo.
    39
  15. Twitter has "cracked down" on the political opponents of their Demokkkrat masters. That's ok, what goes around comes around. Our "crack down" will involve firing squads for those cunts.
    39
  16. +Darth Vader Yeah, because fuck the democratic process, human rights, and the self-determination of the people who actually live there? Right?
    37
  17. Anatoll D. "Everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler: A liberal's guide to political debate"
    35
  18. Funny how when developers do it to minorities it's an outrage. When the BLM does it to white ranchers and miners, it's normal government behavior and people who speak up against it are "terrorists"... #yallqueda #fullretard #SJWracists
    34
  19. Yup. I was there. It wasn't quite THIS bad, but it was more the same thing. The "solidarity bag" is basically starvation rations. 1 kg of rice is ~4000 calories 1 kg of beans is ~3000 calories The other stuff might add another ~3000 to be generous. That means that your "bag" has less than a week of nutrition for an adult to stay healthy.
    32
  20. +adub4ever Oh really? You do realize that these guys pay for the privilege of using land that by all rights belongs to them? Right? Go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit.
    31
  21. SolJA Boy France has been implementing Sanders' policies for 30 years. How is that working out for them?
    31
  22. Right... Because being anti-corruption somehow makes you a Nazi. Fuck off.
    30
  23. Yeah... Because the TSA is doing such a spectacular job... They have a less than 5% success rate. Simple fact is, we need to eliminate unconstitutional prohibitions on concealed carry at airports and on airplanes, problem solved.
    30
  24. Has anybody considered the fact that the people who LIVE there have every right to decide if they want to be a part of the Ukraine or not? It's their land, let them make their own decisions.
    30
  25. +Red Baran In the libertarian way, the people would have already strung up the people responsible for murder. The Communist way, however, just ignores the benefit of a few villagers to prop up India.
    30
  26. Last time I checked, it wasn't called the Bill of Needs.
    27
  27. +Truth Seeker Oh really? You mean the same Afghanistan where Russia controlled 99% of the country before the US started shipping weapons to terrorists? The same Chechnya that's still a part of Russia and got its teeth kicked in for trying to rebel? Ok... How about some other examples? Maybe Georgia? No?
    26
  28. Ah... Typical media bullshit... Take a random guy with some think tanks that affiliates with an anarchic movement, then claim he represents the entire movement. They tried to pull this shit with #gamergate too... It'll bow up in their faces just about as spectacularly.
    25
  29. Every member of the Planned Parenthood mass murder squad needs to be stood up against a wall and shot. They soon will be.
    23
  30. Darth Vader Ah yes... The "free democratic european country" that responds to elections they don't like with heavy artillery.
    21
  31. Darth Vader Really? So all those apartment buildings you fuckers shelled were full of terrorists? Here's a fun fact, under the UN charter, when they voted to secede, you had to let them go.
    20
  32. Fuck these sub-human scum. If you do something that lands you in prison, you should consider yourself lucky we didn't just put a bullet in the back of your head.
    20
  33. Yeah... It's almost like VICE can't even be bothered to find decent looking corespondents. I mean seriously, you basically have a freakshow on parade. This is a visual medium ladies, your appearance matters.
    19
  34. Kehinde Odusanya Well, if those same people would quit glamorizing the criminal underclass and whining about their failures, we might give a shit.
    19
  35. Gee... Way to perpetuate the racist anti-white bigotry VICE.
    17
  36. Crouchy232323 My intelligence is just fine. I'm just one of those wacky people that believes that actions have consequences. When you choose poorly, it's on your head. But hey, if these clowns didn't grow up in a pampered nanny state mentality, maybe they would have the testicular fortitude not to wreck their own lives and demand that people fix their shit.
    16
  37. +Morgan Freeman Not really. I find it ironic that people only give a shit about refugees so long as they are not white refugees. Where's the coverage of Ukrainian refugees in Europe?
    16
  38. Here's a wacky idea... Go read a book. You have no constitutional right to be educated at public expense. The fact that your neighborhoods are warzones because nobody wants to turn in the drug dealing ganbanger animals shooting it up, might be a reason for why nobody wants to teach at your schools or pay to make them better. Though I do find it ironic that the "poor" student you followed is sporting $500 of gear and a brand new smart phone. Priorities much?
    16
  39. +lionthieves Because we like to point out your bullshit. Your little liberal cult needs to be throughly discredited before we have to start putting people up against walls.
    14
  40. Yeah... Nope. That would be Hitlary and her pet terrorist organization.
    14
  41. So... What was that about "No Nazis in Ukraine"? Beerhall putsch anybody?
    14
  42. +ZacTheKing Sanders for the Chair 2016. Last time I checked, we fried commies.
    14
  43. So instead of shipping their asses back to Libya we're giving them a free ride to Europe? How the fuck does THAT make sense?
    14
  44. Islam is an ideology far more hateful and homophobic than anything the western world has ever seen. I'd point out that in ten muslim countries you will be executed for being gay. Muslims can be convinced to come to their senses and get out of their cult. Islam is beyond salvation.
    14
  45. +SHAKE 1 Please tell me all about how the US or any other European country is training kids to be suicide bombers. False moral equivalency is false.
    13
  46. Darth Vader You mean the same army busy killing civilians in job lots? From where I sit, that sounds like self-defense.
    13
  47. ***** If it was just a boycott, it would not be much of an issue. Instead, they harass them, destroy their property, and then use activist judges to run them out of business. The reality is that the gaystapo has usurped our democracy. Instead of following the Constitution, they got a panel of activist judges to overturn the express will of the overwhelming majority of US citizens.
    13
  48. Well, looks like the Marines are going back to Haiti... Again... What is it about these fucktards that they can't be bothered to maintain basic fucking law and order in their own country?
    13
  49. Darth Vader Yes... How many actual terrorist attacks happened in Ukraine? Would that be ZERO? I think it would. Because fuck human rights. Cole Lassell The recognition of the UN is irrelevant. The charter applies regardless.
    12
  50. Good. Roe v Wade is based on a legal fiction. There is no constitutional guarantee to abortion or any other medical service. Don't want kids? Keep your legs closed.
    12
  51. +acidpusher No, they need a bullet to the head. Little jihadis grow up to be big jihadis. Nuke 'em 'till they glow then shoot them in the dark.
    12
  52. Rochyan Really? Since when do drugs have race?
    12
  53. That's a really nice home for someone who "can't work" in Venezuela. Run commie run. Somebody who is working had to pay for all her nice shit and her makeup. Perhaps, being a leech, she should remember that voting for a living gives her no authority to take from productive members of the community.
    11
  54. So... We're supposed to respect a "trial" that was performed in absentia with no one to speak in defense of the accused? Really? We don't even do that to terrorists. Perhaps we should simply try these terrorist collaborators in Italy in absentia for material support of a terrorist organization and then simply send in a SEAL team to execute the fuckers?
    11
  55. +Lion Of Yoktan I don't know about you, but I don't consider a force that screams the takbir every time they fire a gun to be "secular". I say fuck Syria. Let Assad gas the fuckers and be done with it. At least a secular dictator we can reason with.
    11
  56. mr magoo Because leftism is cancer. You don't "get along" with cancer. You eradicate it.
    11
  57. Carlos Barrett Given that state law requires concurrent sentences for these offenses, the most she still got the maximum.
    11
  58. +Wajeeh Raza Maybe in the 17th century. In the real world, "white oppressors" were the first culture on the planet to fight AGAINST slavery. You're welcome.
    10
  59. +Woohoo Here's a wacky idea... You opened your legs, you live with that decision.
    10
  60. Inigo Montoya You're fucking ignorant. I hate to break it to you, but the only "bad guys" in this story are the guys to used troops to negate a vote they didn't like. If this was in the middle east, you would be screaming about sanctions against Ukraine.
    10
  61. parkour effect Yeah... I can't remember laughing harder than when I explained to a would be "infantry" female that my basic kit came it at her body weight. That's not counting all the extra shit combat engineers carry as a matter of course. My BASIC kit came in at just over 100 lbs. If you put that on your average woman, she would have a hard time MOVING much less fighting. Hell you'd need to be a female body builder to get to where most men of my unit were coming out of MOS school. On a side note, standards WERE lowered. That's how three women were able to get ranger tabs for a few months. Then got them taken away when the bullshit of how they "earned" them came out. It's also why I endlessly mocked my former service Army coworker. He was an intel guy with a ranger tab. The morning the news broke, I grabbed a velcro ranger tab and stuck it on a maxi pad on his desk.
    10
  62. I love this quote... "Either you have to be Progressive, or you will be taxed out, run out, or moved out. Eventually, it will happen." That's exactly what's wrong with progressivism.
    10
  63. IN GOD WE TRUST I did two tours in Iraq fucktard. You have no idea what you're talking about.
    10
  64. Bull shit. It's very simple. The US is the biggest market in the world. Make it prohibitively expensive to manufacture outside the US via tariffs and those companies will come sulking back with hat in hand. As for automation... Do you really think that a seven factories that only employ ~3000 people can operate without extensive automation? You're fucking delusional. That's less than 200 people per shift in all functions.
    10
  65. Masked Vigilante The opinion of the rest of Ukraine is irrelevant. They don't live there, they don't get a vote. As for the UN charter, it recognizes a human right to self determination, that's what happened and Ukraine can suck a dick.
    9
  66. Cal fischer It's their money. They can do with it whatever the fuck they want.
    9
  67. +theylied1776 Really? So the economic abuse of the South by the North for half a century was irrelevant?
    9
  68. Nice to see you guys are covering both sides of the conversation... /sarc
    9
  69. +Ian Edmonds Did you miss the graphic warning content at the beginning you walking mangina?
    9
  70. Hey Vik Tor, please tell the people of Paris how there are no mass shootings without legal guns...
    9
  71. Unconstitutional legislation that is invalid on its face. "assault weapons" are covered under US v Miller as "common use" weapons and as such, cannot be banned.
    9
  72. +brainflash1 1. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Most of us don't want to pay into it in the first place, but if we're forced to (at gunpoint I might add) then we'd sure as hell better get our money's worth. 2. One of the FEW functions of government is to respond to national level emergencies. You being a lazy slob is not an emergency. A hurricane wiping out a city, is.
    9
  73. This is why every socialist in the US needs to get a nice Tabun shower or a bullet to the back of the head.
    9
  74. W-James 1. Bullshit. There are over 500,000 defensive gun uses in the US per year according to the CDC and less than 10,000 homicides according to the FBI. 2. If your gun is not in a readily accessible place or on your hip, you're going it wrong. 3. Yeah... Irrelevant. You break into my house, you're leaving in a bag. 4. Bullshit. France had more dead in mass shooting in 2015 than the US. Ganbangers banging don't count. 5. Is that why Mexico is swarming with guns? 6. Yeah... You're more likely to be hit by lightning. 400 people hit by lightning in the US, less that 200 fatal gun accidents TOTAL. 7. Yes... So we should lock everyone up in a mental institution to be sure? I mean how do we know some random guy won't get a truck and run over a bunch of people? (Worse casualties than any mass shooting in US history, BTW)
    9
  75. Rochyan So it's the law's problem that poor black people are retarded?
    9
  76. There is no such thing as an "accidental" discharge with any gun made after 1950 or so. It is designed to be mechanically impossible. For the gun to go bang, you need to put your booger hook on the bang switch.
    8
  77. wavesyt How many regions of Russia are in open rebellion against the central government?
    8
  78. The Human Herbivore Antibiotics are used not to keep animals from getting sick, but to make them gain weight.
    8
  79. Erifaj Channel There is no such thing as "Palestine", never has been.
    8
  80. vik tor They had more mass shooting deaths in 2015 than the US despite having a fraction of the population.
    8
  81. ***** Until then, I'll laugh in the AG's face and shoot anybody who tries to enforce an unconstitutional law.
    8
  82. Smart one... The UKRAINIANS stated this war when they rolled out the tanks to suppress political dissent. It's not complicated. They replaced one dictator with another.
    8
  83. jamali hamilton It's THEIR land fucktard. Last I checked, self-determination is a human right.
    8
  84. +Neesy Um... So the fact that Russia "invaded" at the request of a democratically elected government to help then deal with racial islamic insurgents is completely lost on you?
    8
  85. +SxKushxS Who invites cops to the Super Bowl? It's a large gathering of people, police need to be there according to most permitting statutes.
    8
  86. +TheGreekSpawn You answered your own question. In case you were wondering, the answer to your second question is "Yes".
    8
  87. You can't claim to be a sovereign nation and then demand that other people clean up the mess your government helped create. Do you think all these mines were run without tribal approval? Really? Oh, and if you claim that the "Navajo Nation" is a separate political entity from the US government, then any people who reside in that nation are, by definition, not Americans.
    8
  88. ***** You do realize that slavery in the 1600s and 1700s was NORMAL? Right? Even in Africa. Or do you think the a bunch of pasty white guys walked into the African interior and gathered up their own shiploads of slaves? Fun fact, they BOUGHT those slaves from BLACK AFRICAN SLAVE TRADERS. What you have here is a straw man fallacy. You're comparing incomparable things defeating arguments that no-one made.
    7
  89. The Human Herbivore Well, then "everyone with a brain" would be wrong. The primary side effect of low doses of antibiotics is weight gain. That's what they are used for in agriculture. Do you even agriculture bro?
    7
  90. Walid Sulaiman Given that the vast majority of police shoots are perfectly acceptable? Oh, as for "Palestinian persecution"... Fuck them. They had a country then they attacked Israel. You don't get to lose wars and bitch about the results.
    7
  91. +rollingcan Only if you're a commie scumbag.
    7
  92. Josh H Please tell me all about how the Baltimore and Ferguson rioters were "bombed"... Go away you racist piece of shit.
    7
  93. ***** We also let the New Black Panthers, Nation of Islam. CAIR, Black Lives Matter, Concerned Student 1950, etc roam around freely. Funny how in the past 20 years, each one of those has done fare more damage than the KKK over the same period.
    7
  94. Since Trump is neither right-wing nor a fascist. He's actually a Reganesque center right.
    7
  95. So it's not ok to take away a felon's voting rights but it's ok to take away their 2nd amendment rights? Consistency anyone?
    7
  96. +JewTube To be fair, Somalia is as much a libertarian utopia as North Korea is a communist utopia. Both concepts look good on paper until you add the human element.
    7
  97. +Ridha So sorry... You don't get to start a war, and then claim occupation when your enemy kicks your ass and takes some of your land as a security buffer against future invasions.
    7
  98. What happened was you got your ass kicked by the American people. Now sit down and shut up or it will happen again.
    7
  99. Benerro Moquorro Do they worship Mohamed the child rapist? Yes? All muslims. 
    7
  100. +caroline f Here's another option... Don't want kids? Keep your fucking legs closed.
    7
  101. ***** Oh, I don't know... The American Civil War ring a bell? How about the fact that the Royal Navy shut down the African slave trade? Do you even History bro?
    6
  102. ***** Maybe I'm just someone who sees white guilt tripping for what it is. Bullshit. If it wasn't for Europeans, Africans would still be living in the bronze age. You're welcome. 
    6
  103. Well, looks like the Sheriff is still a corrupt cock. Good to know.
    6
  104. +The Human Herbivore Not the same antibiotics fucktard. The ones used on animals are not effective for human use. (At least in the US. China, all bets are off.)
    6
  105. The Human Herbivore You do realize that one of us actually knows what he's talking about? Where did you get your BME degree?
    6
  106. Yeah... Because that worked so well in France.
    6
  107. Krilln The only thing that negates intent is rape. Rolling the dice and losing does not negate intent. Being drunk does not negate intent. ... and in the case of rape... why are we punishing the child for the crimes of the father?
    6
  108. lionthieves The difference is that what we think doesn't have an adverse impact on you. What you think most certainly has an adverse impact on me.  Small government doesn't hurt you. Large government hurts me. Guns don't hurt you. Gun control hurts me. Conservatism is about leaving people the fuck alone. Liberalism is about telling other people what they should be doing with their shit.
    6
  109. ***** You do realize that colonialism ended centuries ago? Right? Plenty of time for them to fix their own shit. I say send them back where they came from. Anybody who tries twice should be shot as an invader.
    6
  110. Truth Seeker Which war fucktard?
    6
  111. The Dutch Merchant Would that be the same Dutch who can't even issue training ammo to their troops and have their soldiers running around yelling "pew pew"?
    6
  112. Tommy England You're high. Russia is not invading Ukraine, if they were, there'd be a Russian flag flying over Kiev. The Ukrainian military would be a speed bump to a single heavy corps. (Of which Russia has over a dozen.) The UK "military" is a joke. Your entire "army" has a total of less than 90,000 regulars. That's barely two Divisions. (To give you an idea, the United States Marine Corps, has an active duty roster of more than TWICE that, the Russian army has you outnumbered eight to one.) They have better small arms. They have better small unit tactics. They have more armor. They have better artillery. They have better air support. Quite frankly, you brits would be doing a reenactment of Antwerp inside a week. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, often with your guys. Trust me, you don't want to fight a land war with Russia. They have literally never lost.
    6
  113. Alexander Rose Thyren Socialism is the very definition of failure. 
    6
  114. +omglabel I hate to break it to you, but nobody has a "right" to enter someone else's country without permission.
    6
  115. +Mitchell Maytorena Yeah... That's going to happen. Obama's going to draw another red line. Maybe if Georgia didn't start shit, they would not get shit. HINT: Being the country responsible for mass genocide in the Soviet Union does not make you popular with Russians.
    6
  116. ***** So it's ok to attack people because their politics are unpopular? Ok, I'll make a note of that next time I see a BLM riot.
    6
  117. Zhuge Yeah, only in Europe would you even get arrested for firing at an angry mob throwing shit at you.
    6
  118. Slavery is an appropriate punishment for people who break the law.
    6
  119. BaltimoresBerzerker But, but, muh "oppressions"... 
    6
  120. xUnleadedx Yeah... Ultimately, YOU have to put the needle in your arm. If you still do it, you're not trying hard enough.
    5
  121. The Human Herbivore I'll wait for you to cite any evidence to that effect.
    5
  122. The Human Herbivore Not an argument.
    5
  123. +Captain America We didn't vote out the British. We shot them.
    5
  124. +gothicalpha Most normal people in the US own guns. I hate to break it to you, but there is a reason why gun sales are soaring for the seventh year in a row. People just aren't buying your "gun control" bullshit.
    5
  125. Actually, he used it correctly, you didn't. Ah the irony.
    5
  126. Cal fischer Maybe I need to get a purple dinosaur to sing it to your dumb ass? Your wallet, your business. My wallet, my business. Don't like being poor? Get your ass to work.
    5
  127. +Omar Mohammad Turkey can live long as soon as it gives Constantinople back to its rightful owners and gets the fuck out of Europe.
    5
  128. Joey Perez Given how quick he was to try to spin the San Bernardino attacks as "gun violence" rather than "terrorism"... Yes. Look at the Ft. Hood shooting. "Workplace Violence" by a self declared jihadi who was, for some reason, not charged with TREASON.
    5
  129. xithappens Afghanistan was actually fairly cool in the 60s and early 70s. http://www.thecommentator.com/ckeditor_assets/pictures/247/content_kabul.jpg
    5
  130. Chris Ward Yeah... Because Turkey totally hasn't been strong-arming the EU with the migrant crisis.
    5
  131. Gabriel Castro You assume the petty tyrants in Brussels give a shit what the people of the EU think.
    5
  132. Patrick Dow So Obama kicked down that door in Pakistan? Really? Fuck off. Bush's policies allowed us to kill Bin Laden. Obama just lucked out on being in charge when the chase ended.
    5
  133. Ah... Yes... The shooting of Mike Brown... AKA the guy to ASSAULTED AND ATTEMPTED TO MURDER A POLICE OFFICER.
    5
  134. Lion Of Yoktan Except that Jesus Christ is not a battle cry of terrorists. A closer analogy would be Deus Vult.
    5
  135. School is not supposed to be daycare for your kids. If you can't be bothered to take care of your kids, you need to check your priorities. The reality is that my family can easily function on just my income, which means that my kids are going to get homeschooled anyway. Why should my taxes go to pay for glorified daycare for other people's kids?
    5
  136. +Walerian Mendoza How does it feel to live with the knowledge for members of your former faith will execute you on sight?
    5
  137. Quaabo Yeah... If there was a recount in California and a prosecution of people illegally registering illegals to vote, I might believe you. The fact that Stein only filed papers in states won by Trump is rather suspicious. If you wanted a "fair" election, everybody would be required to present biometric voter ID, and would have to be entered in a national voter database to make sure they only vote once. But hey, apparently, Demokkkrats are ok with US elections being less secure than the elections in MEXICO.
    5
  138. +Ahhh714 Tell me more about how Marx caused Henry Ford to introduce the five day work week in the US.
    5
  139. The one thing I'll say is that civilians suing a general over a military decision is inappropriate. The matter should be taken up by a court-martial. There could have been a valid reason to send a plane into a combat zone. The matter of negligence should be judged by officers who have a full understanding of the tactical and strategic matters involved, not civilians who have never had to make a hard call that they know will wing up killing their own men. The hardest order that an officer can give is one that he knows will result in the deaths of his men. It is his duty to give that order if the loss is necessary. It is the duty of HIS commanders to make sure that such an order is not handed down lightly and without good cause.
    5
  140. Tell that to Sweden and Belgium.
    5
  141. Benerro Moquorro You do realize that the Catholic sex abuse scandal was a minor (if horrible) aberration blown out of all proportion? Right? False moral equivalency is false. Most muslim countries "marry" six year olds to men five to ten times their age on a daily basis.
    5
  142. ***** Son... I'm almost 40 years old and served eight years in the Marine Corps. You really need to direct your comments more precisely.

  143. Sorry bro, but modern fission reactors are the cleanest source of energy possible. You can literally recycle the fuel until it is no longer radioactive. The radioactivity is what generates the power in the first place. The fact that the eco-hippy luddites can't get their heads out of their asses doesn't change the physics involved.

  148. Moduhlize Again, you clearly have no idea how airplanes are made. The windows on a plane are not as fragile as you might think. I picked 9mm because it has the highest velocity and therefore the best penetration of common handgun rounds. A .45 doesn't have the velocity to penetrate very far. Neither does a .40. Do you think people are going to be toting .500 S&W hand cannons on their hips? Oh, and I'm a hoot at parties. I can generally destroy bullshit with one or two facts.

  151. mark johnson Yes... The "protestors" who burned down and looted businesses. Like I said, if these guys slapped "Black Lives Matter" bumper stickers on their gear, Obama would be holding a press conference about how awesome and oppressed they are.

  157. vik tor You seem to mistake an incoherent rant for an argument. Collect your thoughts kid and try again. ***** It was never militarized. Again, if the US wanted to actually go to war with Islam, said war would be over in about a month. We have enough firepower to depopulate the entire middle east without dropping a single nuke. Hell, we could just take the leash off of Israel and let them claim the entire region.

  168. Alexander Rose Thyren Well, given that you don't pay for the defense of your own country... I don't see how you have much of a leg to stand on. Denmark's military couldn't stop a troop of enthusiastic boy scouts, much less an invasion from a major power. The only reason you're not speaking Russian is because of US tax dollars.

  176. Holy fucking propaganda Batman. If you don't want your city to flood, don't build it BELOW SEA LEVEL. The reason Katrina was as bad as it was had nothing to do with "loss of wetlands" and everything to do with a corrupt Democratic Mayor who embezzled funds and botched the response by refusing to hand over authority.

  186. Fobaku TheAnimeFob By your logic ANY gun can "military grade" almost every gun currently in production has been used by a military somewhere at some point.

  190. rep5281 Legal slavery? Really? Name one western country.

I'd like to see your citation on the Africa claim. I call bullshit. In Africa, they kill each other because one savage has the wrong bone through their nose. Again, having nothing to do with Christianity. 3. You probably got called out for being a new age poser. Why? Because I guarantee you that your version of "paganism" has more in common with Anne Rice novels than with what pagans actually believed in pre-Roman Britain.
    3
  209. ***** "many studies" that are inherently flawed. They compare vegetarians (who as a rule tend to be very health conscious if they expect to live to old age) against the general population (who don't really keep an eye on their health.) In reality, the "meat substitutes" you espouse are nutritionally deficient. If you look in the mirror, you will notice incisors in your mouth. Those are there for a reason. Though I do find your hypocrisy hilarious. You see nothing morally wrong with killing an unborn child, but see killing food animals as reprehensible. Me thinks you have your priorities backwards.

    3
  223. theylied1776 The part where your point is absurd. Fighting for your country which happens to support slavery is not the same thing as fighting for slavery. It's like claiming that soldiers in Iraq were fighting for abortion.

  224. MrDICKHEAD28 Yeah, no. She's the richest looking "poor" person I've ever seen. But hey, it's just standard socialist bullshit. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. I remember a special "party members only" store outside Red Square... Funny how they never seemed to have shortages.
    3
  225. E Bangalter Because clearly Trump is the one under investigation for treason and espionage.
    3
  226. +Cole3050 That depends entirely on how many of them we kill. Note the lack of Nazi terrorists in the years after we burned Dresden to the ground.

  230. julian brown Really? I'm sure the owners of those looted buildings feel differently.

  231. julian brown Please cite a mass shooting in the name of Christ or the Crusade. THAT would be a double standard.

  232. julian brown So you know something about the planned parenthood shooter that nobody else does? We're talking about the modern US here, try to keep up.
    3
  233. julian brown [CITATION NEEDED] I call bullshit.

  234. eggo Yeah... Which one of us is in the 1st percentile on most measurable criteria? Fuck off. If you kill a person like this scumbag, you should be hung in a public square.

  235. Yeah... He can enforce federal law or he can get stood up against the wall and shot. What he's doing is textbook treason.
    3
  236. Funny how I live more than an hour from a trauma center. Even funnier how it's not an issue because my neighbors are not drug dealing lowlife scum who have a habit of resolving their disagreements with gunfire.
    3
  237. DarkSideSixOfficial You're not entirely correct. America was never supposed to be multi-cultural. That's why its referred to as a melting pot, not a salad bowl. Multi-ethnic, yes, multi-cultural no. The idea is that the new arrivals would adopt American culture and values and adding a bit of their own flavor to the American stew. Not remain as their own little cultural enclave inside larger American society.
    3
  238. DarkSideSixOfficial You do realize that demographic replacement has been a strategy of the socialist for almost a century? Right? "White" genocide might not be exactly the best term, but there is no doubt that the far left is trying to deliberately breed people with traditional european values out of existence.
    3
  239. DarkSideSixOfficial Yes... Tell me more about how there is no "European Genocide" when the most popular name for a newborn boy in the UK last year was Mohamed...
    3
  240. ***** That's adorable, just because I'm a United States Marine does not mean I cannot read the language I grew up speaking. Simple fact is, the Ukrainian government is committing war crimes on a level that would make Palestinians blush.
    3
  241. ***** I just happen to hate governments that use their military against their own people. But I'm sure that Ukraine is totally justified in shelling civilian population centers and abducting opposition leaders from their homes in the middle of the night without any form of warrant.
    3
  242. brainflash1 Except that it's not, and it has been shown that it's not. As population growth rate goes negative (as it does in every industrialized country) there are fewer and fewer working age people to pay for more and more older people who are living longer and longer. Add to this the fact that 40% of Americans of working age don't pay social security taxes, but are still eligible to receive benefits and you have a recipe for disaster. Aka... A Ponzi scheme. Do you even demographics bro?
    3
  243. Firefly Given that it's the Ukrainians doing the majority of the bombing? I'm not sure how you came to that impression.
    3
  244. Hey Nigeria, how's that hashtag campaign going? I'd bet you want a US president who actually fights terrorists instead of giving them nukes?
    3
  245. Oh, every one of you fuckers who calls Bush and Blair "war criminals" needs to be stood up against a wall and shot for treason. The only "war crimes" committed in Iraq and Afghanistan were committed by the people we were fighting. If you protect those people, you are a traitor and deserve to have your brains spread over the nearest convenient wall.
    3
  246. Erik3E Except for the part where it's not Ukrainian soil. Not now, and never was. Ukraine illegally seized the territory in the 90s and used armed force to prevent the locals from exercising their human right to self-determination. Both both those are war crimes.
    3
  247. Comrade Horsefucker Irrelevant. Without Europeans those places would be pre-iron age hellholes.

  248. ***** Yeah... Funny how Obama and Hitler have so much in common.

  251. What that symbol was centuries ago and what it is today are different things. Today, if you openly wear a swastika, you're a fascist. End of discussion. Any slav who wears that symbol needs an education in modern history and the millions of people who were murdered because of his little "good luck" charm.
    3
  252. Jacob Jacobs Please explain how pro-Ukrainian rebels would storm a Ukrainian government building? Did you understand what they were chanting? I did.
    3
  253. ***** No, but national sovereignty does. Hate to break it to you, but in the real world, we have these things called "countries". If you try to go into one without permission, you get shot. Simple.
    3
  254. Lotak Smith No, it's just a combination of cheap ammo, an inherent design choice in the AK, and worn out barrels with bad rifling. The AKM series derivatives which are predominant in the Middle East don't use any sort of flash hider on the muzzle. AKMs use a simple muzzle brake to redirect the exhaust impulse down and to the shooter's left. This keeps the gun on target however, it also does nothing to dissipate the spray of half-burned powder that comes out of the muzzle. Given that flash suppression is only really an issue when you care about your soldiers loosing their night vision, expecting this to be considered in the mid 1940s era of large caliber battle rifles is a bit unrealistic. It wasn't until the Soviets switched to the 5.45x39 round in their AK-74 family that flash suppression became a priority of any sort. The second part is the fact that durka durka sourced ammo is not exactly known for quality manufacture. This is, best case, 40-50 year old Soviet satellite state surplus or even worse home brewed crap. The concept of low-flash powders is foreign to these loadings. Hell, most of them use corrosive components the US military and sporting communities had stopped putting into our ammo in the 60s. Finally, you have to consider the fact that most of those AKs are about the same age as the people firing them. The fact that these guns are running at all is a minor miracle and entirely attributable to the design. I guarantee you that most of those barrels are shot nearly smooth and have quite a bit of windage between the bullet and the barrel letting half burned powder escape during firing.
    3
  255. Johannes kostaja_ Yeah... I'm sure they said that. I would remind them that the Constitution is the only reason I'm not allowed to shoot them for being retarded.
    3
  256. Alexander Rose Thyren Actually, it's completely relevant as the only way countries like Denmark can afford all those handouts is because they spend a tiny fraction of what they should on their own defense.
    3
  257. Alan D Except... The British Empire The Russian Empire The American Empire Do I need to go on? Your argument is a non-starter because it is inherently unprovable.
    3
  258. Lion Of Yoktan They are members of a death cult sworn to the extermination of all others who believe differently. That's reason enough.
    3
  259. Lion Of Yoktan You mean the same Crusades that were started as a response to Muslim aggression agains the Christian Byzantine Empire? The same Inquisition that didn't kill anyone? (The Papal inquisition very rarely even tortured people. The Spanish inquisition had nothing to do with the Church and was authorized by Spain, in express defiance of he Pope.) You know what the difference is? Christianity did these things a THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Muslims are doing it TODAY! Get the fucking difference yet? Or do I have to translate it into Durka Durka for you? 
    3
  260. AIRburst95 Bernie. Duh. He even praised the Soviet Union's failed social programs when he was in office.
    3
  261. You know how we deal with crime in this country fucktard? Successfully. There is a reason why homicide and violent crime are down by over 50% in the last 20 years. Mass incarceration WORKS.
    3
  262. ***** So why does the NAACP not get the same treatment as these guys do? Why is it ok to be pro-black, pro-arab, etc... But got forbid you're pro-white.
    3
  263. Aquatic Llamas Yeah... Good luck with the GOP controlling both the House and Senate. Trump could have Hillary taken out and shot on the White House lawn and still not get impeached.
    3
  264. Christopher Robert Sorry fucker, but no. You only have rights if you're a civilian, or one of a few protected classes of combatant. Go check the relevant conventions.
    3
  265. ***** Again... Have you ever boxed? Cloth does not stop pressure cuts.
    3
  266. 1. Not true. A previous dispatch interviewed an entire pro-ukranian demonstration in Donbas. 2. You try to find a pro-Ukrainian person in a town that is being shelled by Ukrainian troops daily.
    3
  267. Ahhh714 There is no such thing as "wrongfully fired" I can fire anybody for any reason. It's my fucking business. If you want to set the rules, start your own.

  268. Jonas Karlsen Who started the 1968 war? Me thinks it was the Arabs...
    3
  269. F Mar Like I said. Life's not fair, get a fucking helmet. Empathy does not translate into financial responsibility enforced at gunpoint.
    3
  270. Alexander Fleming Yeah.... Your "solution" is basically one gigantic dose of cyanide. Socialism has never worked. Ever. Europe is drowning in debt due to their little experiment. Venezuela has become a more or less failed state. Do we want to talk about the results in Asia and Easter Europe?
    3
  271. Alexander Fleming Actually it's now. Why? Because America can default on its debt and laugh at the creditors. Fundamentally, it doesn't need to run a deficit if it gets rid of the socialist programs eating up more than half the budget.
    3
  272. David Gaudet Yeah... Please tell me how it's the child's fault that your friend (allegedly) got raped. I'm all for punishing rapists. Oh, and "people sometimes make mistakes" is not an argument. Adoptions are a thing. The waiting list for adoptions is so long that people are going out of the country to get kids.
    3
  273. Oussama Erraji You do realize you have a higher chance of being hit by lightning? Right? Accidental gun deaths are at an all time low despite gun ownership and concealed carry being at all time highs.
    3
  274. Yeah... The fact that guns could have been used to stop this psycho like they were in Texas is completely irrelevant...
    3
  275. martin austin Factory jobs pay damn well. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Oh, and minimum wage is unconstitutional.
    3
  276. Benerro Moquorro Sure you can. Some religions advocate blatant war crimes. Most do not.
    3
  277. Ok... That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's almost as retarded as those pos-deployment safety videos. But hey, guess they needed to find jobs for useless hipsters with liberal arts degrees.
    3
  278. Time to knock the dust off of Buchenwald.
    3
  279. killercaos123 Because it's hard to get your jackboot on the throat of an armed man.
    3
  280. Italy is our bitch. You don't let client states prosecute your diplomats.
    3
  281. gothicalpha Well... So much for that one. Gotta love debating liberals. They claim that guns are only owned by violent psychopaths and then proceed to insult said psychopaths... Welcome to the wonderful world of hypocrisy. If gun owners were as violent as you claim, logic dictates that none of you would be alive to claim anything.

  296. Crouchy232323 Not really, I was studying to practice criminal law in law school. I actually have a BA in criminology that I picked up in my spare time. (Fortunately, my wife set me straight by pointing out that, with an engineering degree, patent law is a lot less stress and a lot more money.) Here's a god overview article. Basically, veterans commit violent crime at roughly 1/4 the rate of the general population by even the most rabid anti-military estimates. http://strongeratthebrokenplaces.com/veterans-and-violent-crime/ The reality is that compulsory military service would do these drug addicts a lot more good than any rehab program. In addition, they would actually be providing a service to society rather than being a drain on it. But the left wing has gotten into the habit of demonizing the military so much that they forget how useful it is to get people's lives turned around through their own efforts. Let me give you an example. In 2003, my unit deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom and, at the time, we had at least half dozen former gang members in the unit. (My combat engineering company had ~100 men in it.) They were some of the most squared away Marines in my unit. One was a staff NCO (a Staff Sergeant) who still had highly visible gang ink on his arms. In my experience, anybody can turn their life around if they put any serious effort into it. I am proud to have served with each and every Marine in my unit and am proud to say that the worst disciplinary infraction we had in four years of rotating deployments was a bar fight that got a bit out of hand. (Nobody was seriously injured, but the provosts had to break it up.) I can honestly say that the undergrad engineering students at my university were nowhere near as well behaved. The dorms constantly smelled of fresh popcorn (to cover up the smell of fresh smoked weed) and there were guys passed out in the halls every Saturday. There's a reason why I would have preferred to live in on-base housing while going to school if it was at all practical. My experience is limited, but my wife, who's a former Army MP more or less agrees with it. The garbage she deals with as a beat cop makes her days in Ft. Benning look like a vacation.

  302. utubrGaming Yeah, bullshit. The standards were lowered so much that those ranger tabs aren't worth the thread used to make them. There is zero chance a female can legitimately pass Ranger school. It's a biological impossibility. Thanks Obama for turning the Rangers into a joke.
    2
  303. Dee Huff Bullshit. If females can't even pass USMC recruit training without having their own special training battalion and standards, how the hell are they going to pass a standard where most INFANTRY soldiers don't make it? Next you're going to tell me that there are legitimate female Raiders.
    2
  304. ***** Yeah... Claiming that the core of socialism is "democracy and freedom" is like claiming that the core of Nazism is equality and the rule of law. Socialism killed more people in the 20th century than war.

  310. +droid monkey Crude oil won't run out for at least another century. The simple fact is that the price of oil is tanking because new extraction methods have opened up deposits larger than anything previously exploited.
    2
  311. Cynical Zombie Yeah, except that the only way they passed is by lowered standards. Basically, by having women in Ranger school, you're basically requiring some of them to pass and in order for that to happen, they need to lower standards to the point of irrelevance. No biological female can EVER pass Ranger school without the standards being lowered. It's a biological impossibility. Why? Ranger school is designed to destroy MEN with the fitness of Olympic athletes. Do you honestly think women can compete with men who outweigh them two to one?
    2
  312. ***** Yeah, only commonly available info and years of prior service experience. Nothing important. But please, show me data on recycle rates for Ranger school for say... 2005. I'd bet that it's a lot lower.

  317. It's actually a fairly balanced report. I like that the only people citing science were the ones that supported GMOs. There's a reason for that. Fears of GMOs are no more legitimate than fears of vaccines. Less so, in fact as both have tremendous benefits to society while only vaccines have any data showing any negative side effects in humans. (Side effects that are so rare as to be statistically irrelevant, especially when balanced against the benefits of mass vaccinations.) For everybody worried about companies deliberately hiding data... Please explain the logic that would cause a company to see poisoning their customer base as profitable. Dead people don't eat.

  326. Moduhlize Depends on the type of material used. If you're talking lexan... Yeah... There's also numerous types of artificial sapphire and aluminum oxides. (Yes, transparent aluminum is a thing now.)
    2
  327. Moduhlize We're talking about HANDGUN rounds here. They can be stopped by freaking FIBERS. Why? Because sectional density is a thing. The surface area of the bullet is too large to effectively penetrate barriers given the available energy. What's more, this situation is made even MORE problematic by the fact that self defense ammo is designed to have a HIGHER sectional density than what is found in ball rounds. On top of all that, these rounds are designed to EXPAND on contact with a barrier thus reducing their ability to penetrate even more. I hate to break this to you, but the windows on airliners are DESIGNED to withstand impact from debris coming at them at handgun round velocities (or damn near there). The only way to penetrate a window like that is a short range impact at a perpendicular angle. Something that is 1. Not likely, and 2. Does not cause a catastrophic failure even then.
    2
  328. Moduhlize Other than, you know, the 2nd amendment.
    2
  329. Moduhlize Yeah... No. By that logic I should be able to declare my business a "civil rights free zone" and bring back slavery. So sorry. Fundamental rights don't work that way.
    2
  330. Moduhlize Irrelevant. A right is a right. The type of business does not negate rights.
    2
  331. Moduhlize Keep thinking that as we roll back gun control across the country and destroy the TSA via a conservative SCotUS.
    2
  332. Moduhlize Yeah... Good luck with that. The difference between guns and Islam is that Islam is an ideology. You can kill an ideology. You can't kill an idea.
    2
  333. Moduhlize Oh really? Seen a lot of Zoroastrians or Gnostics around have you?
    2
  334. Moduhlize Wow... Way to miss the point. What do you think a crusade is?
    2
  335. Moduhlize Yes... We'll replace Islam with something that doesn't glorify child molestation and mass murder.
    2
  336. Moduhlize Wow... and you call ME "unrealistic"... How about we start with the people driving trucks through crowds?
    2
  337. Moduhlize Yeah... Good luck with that. I'm sure militant atheism will take off any day now.
    2
  338. Moduhlize ... and that is why you fail.
    2
  339. Moduhlize Because you lack the inherent humility of knowing that there are ultimate consequences for your actions.
    2
  340. Moduhlize Yeah... Christianity has our crazies under control, Islam is encouraging theirs. If you don't see the difference between refusing to make a gay wedding cake and throwing gays off of buildings, you are seriously fucked in the head.
    2
  341. Moduhlize So the fact that Lanza was "christian" should completely negate the fact that religion was not in any way related to his behavior while Islamic terrorism is encouraged by Islam? Really?
    2
  342. Moduhlize Except that the core of modern Christianity is the New Testament, not the Old Testament. If you're going to use the Old Testament as your ballpark your issue is with Judaism, not Christianity.
    2
  343. Moduhlize Yeah... Keep thinking that. Modern science does not disprove God, only gives us a peek at his tool box. Not to mention the fact that modern western social norms of behavior are almost 100% derived from Christian teachings.
    2
  344. Moduhlize Yeah... Keep thinking that. Which one of us has a law degree and an MBA.

  345. Moduhlize Yup... Early 30s. Make more than your entire family combined.

  346. Jeremy Morrow What "punishment"? Child birth is a natural part of the female life cycle. At worst, it's a minor seven to five month inconvenience (when you first notice changes due to pregnancy) weighed against the life of a human being.
    2
  347. Kris Stout Simple. Not my financial responsibility. You made the kid, you take care of it. Murdering your child for your convenience is immoral regardless.
    2
  348. Harvey Rabbit My founding principle is simple. Murder is wrong. Life begins at conception. There can be reasons for justly taking human life, but convenience (responsible for 99.99% of abortions) is not one of them.
    2
  349. Harvey Rabbit You mistake the legal definition for the moral. By your definition the Holocaust was not murder. I really hope your students get their money back because you're a fucking moron who can't even be bothered to read his opponent's responses. But then again, what do you expect from someone stuck not only in an ivory tower, but in a online version there of?
    2
  350. ***** Ah, yes... Polytheism... How has that worked out historically? Oh... Wait...
    2
  351. ***** Yes... Because people in the 1st century had the exact same moral standards as people in the 21st. #libertard  
    2
  352. ***** Oh really? So the development of modern post-industrial civilization is not a "good" thing? If it wasn't for Christianity, we'd still be experimenting with primitive firearms. Just look at China as an example, the only other advanced civilization in the world, but it was more or less in a technological stasis for damn neat two thousand years and was only knocked out of it by trade with "abrahamic" groups.
    2
  353. ***** That was partially my point. If it wasn't for Christianity, China would be the dominant planetary civilization with a tech level approximately equal to our 12th century.
    2
  354. ***** That's a bold faced lie. Modern science was created by christian monks. Take you bigotry elsewhere. Or better yet, read a history book or two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_Catholic_cleric-scientists
    2
  355. ***** 1. Citation needed. 2. Please explain how Christianity is responsible for the fall of rome or the plague. 3. Please explain how you can plot technological development over time on a simple X-Y graph given the multi-variable nature of a technology base.
    2
  356. the amazing Jack 1. Do you even English bro? It's hard to understand your argument when you don't even bother to use sentences. 2. The plague hit Asia and traveled to Europe via trade routes and Mongols. That can be proven by the historical records of plague outbreaks. 3. Cite one time that the pope was against technology. Fun fact, Copernicus did not invent heliocentrism and was not on trial for heliocentrism. The book he was called to deny was using heliocentrism (an established fact by that time) as a cover for political attacks. I bet you think that pre-Columbus Christians thought the world was flat too, don't you?
    2
  357. Hans Blitz What did they do? Kickstart the technological development that lifted the planet out of the iron age? I'm not sure that that deserves an apology.
    2
  358. ***** Ok... Let me simple it up for you... Imperial Rome != Christianity That simple enough for you dumbfuck?
    2
  359. ***** Yes... Because that tiny fraction of one percent totally excuses the 99.9% who use abortion as a form of lazy birth control. Ever heard of adoptions? I'm sure the dozen babies that fit the description above will find happy homes.
    2
  360. ***** Wow... You just move your dumbass tangents from one to another, don'tcha'?  1. The chances of somebody dying in childbirth in the US are lower than getting killed by lightning. 2. You do realize that human and non-human lives are not equivalent? Right?
    2
  361. ***** Why? Non-sentient is non-sentient. I bet you're one of those "new age" hippies who got diddled by his daddy and is now a "pagan"... Congratulations. You're the adult equivalent of a juvenile temper tantrum.
    2
  362. ***** Oh really? Tell me more about how chickens are self aware. But I do like the idea that all life is sacred until it's human life... That's a good one. Let me spell it up for you... Human Life > Animal Life
    2
  363. ***** So you would be ok with killing the comatose or autistic then? They are clearly not "sentient" by your definition.  That's the nice thing about drawing lines. Human vs non-human is a very clear and distinct line. A four cell zygote is a genetically distinct human being from either of the parents. It's not capable of surviving independently, but then, neither is a one month old. I will note the fact that you dropped the "vegetarianism is healthier" BS. I'll accept your conceding that point.
    2
  364. ***** Oh really? A "myth"? So the hundreds of cases documented by archeologists were just isolated incidents and not an inherent part of most pagan cultures?
    2
  365. ***** So... Let's review the hypocrisy... Muslims invading countries TODAY... OK Christians defending christian lands a thousand years ago...Bad Pagans murdering their own people to appease their gods... OK Christians convincing a culture that it's a bad idea to kill your own people... Bad Killing an unborn child... OK Killing a mindless food animal... Bad Wow, you're one fucked up sociopath.
    2
  366. GothaBillsAndDeath It's pretty much always appropriate to be armed provided you're not reckless or somewhere you're not supposed to be. That's what the BEAR part of keep and bear arms means.
    2
  367. Krixig If you look at the laws in question, calling them pro "right to keep and bear arms" is a joke. It's easier to get a gun legally in NYC than in Hitler's Germany.
    2
  368. Sue Mitchel-Runow Why? It's not those people that are causing the problems. People with arsenals and tons of ammo stockpiled have the disposable income to not really have a reason to kill anyone. I own dozens of guns. The only time I have killed people is when they were trying to kill me. None of those times involved my own personal firearms.
    2
  369. xDREAMxWEAVERx1 Yeah... Says someone who has never been in combat and has never seen terrorists use ambulances for cover. If you go into a war zone, you accept the possibility that you might get shot by mistake. MSF should have set up their hospital well away from any possible combat areas. A red cross is not a magic shield. I've seem corpsmen get shot trying to patch up Marines. I've seen med-evac units take fire. Were those "war crimes"? You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. I also note that you talk awfully big on the internet. Something tells me that you don't have the balls to say the same things face to face with an actual veteran where you'd be held accountable for your bullshit.
    2
  370. Forget issues... Go vote for the VAGINA! #fullretard Oh, BTW... A difference in earnings is not discrimination. Quit perpetuating the "pay gap" bullshit. The reason the earnings gap exists is because women don't work the same jobs as men or the same hours. What an utter load of fetid crap.

  378. +Stranded in Utah Oh please... The only thing that's keeping the "third world" in "poverty" is their totalitarian socialist governments. To castrate our own economy when it won't make one bit of difference is fucking retarded. Until China cuts their emissions to US levels, we shouldn't give any more advantages to a nation that's waging an economic war on us.
    2
  379. Ahhh714 Because we are at war with China fucktard. Castrating our own economy in their favor is RETARDED.
    2
  380. Good luck with that given the fact that the only way that will ever happen is if there is a Russian flag flying over Kiev. Obama and his cronies have too much invested in this garbage to let little inconveniences like war crimes get in the way of intimidating "big bad Russia."

  385. ThreeHeadedWalrus He was a nut job who the liberal media keeps trying to "link" to their favorite bad guys. Given the medication he was on, I doubt he knew what day it was, much less had the requisite mental capacity to hold "extremist" beliefs. They tried to link him to "Britain Fist", that turned out to be bullshit. Now they are trying to link him to some random Nazi group on the solid evidence of him buying a book. Go fuck yourself. Every time we have a nut job like Lanza in the US, you point out how this could never happen in the UK because of your NHS and your gun control... Well, fuck you.
    2
  386. quatsch344 ... and that sounds like a statement of affiliation rather than the ramblings of a delusional schizophrenic? Would you blame the French is he declared his name to be Napoleon Bonaparte? Simple fact is that your NHS has had massive cuts in mental health care due to EU migrants and your gun control has, once again, taken away yet another person's ability to defend themselves against a raging lunatic. Good Job.

  387. Pagan Arabian عَـرَبيْ وَثَنِي Really? There's video all over the internet of burned out stores in both incidents. It was basically the LA riots all over again. (Except with no armed Koreans ready to shoot looters dead.)
    2
  388. Pagan Arabian عَـرَبيْ وَثَنِي Please tell me how you can "reject" surveillance video of the guy committing strong-arm robbery. As for trying to kill a cop... Please explain how grabbing a cop's gun is not intention to harm him. (That's been proven by forensic analysis of the car and gun.)
    2
  389. EisforEvil That would be zero. Apparently, if you're occupying an empty government building, but are white, you don't get "room to destroy".
    2
  390. ***** As in... Nobody was killed by Police in Ferguson or Baltimore during the riots. Unlike here, where apparently it's ok to ambush a convoy going to a negotiation under parley and open up on a car of cooperating suspects with automatic weapons. Why? Because they are white and conservative. Tell me more about how "white privilege" is a thing. Last time I checked, getting shot by police when they asked you to come out to negotiate is not a "privilege".

Oh, and 50 hours per week? I smell a fucking FOBBIT.
    2
  397. Dylan Grey The fucker who fights to support people like Obama who pervert the Constitution is complaining about a wealthy elite who pervert the Constitution. There's a reason why I didn't re-up in December of 2008. I will be damned before I have a liberal fucktard in my chain of command. Just look at what his dumb ass has done to my beloved Corps.
    2
  398. Dylan Grey Oh... That's cute... A squid is complaining about his "horrible work load"... How about you join the actual military rather than a glorified taxi service? USMC 1371, tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Go get me my chow squiddy. Oh, and you have no 1st amendment rights. You're in the military. Go take a look at the UCMJ. Right now, if you were in my unit, I'd have your ass in front of the CO for an article 134 (if not a full court). Who is getting the handouts from the people OBAMA bailed out? Would that be Hillary? Gee, what a coincidence?
    2
  399. Muddy Fudger Oh look, a worthless pony fuking liberal. How spectacularly common.

Either way, Trump is going to beat them like a red headed step child. Thank you DNC, thanks to your abject corruption, we'll have a decade of full GOP control of the government. It should let us fix the clustefuck that Obama has caused over the past eight years.

  405. Bryan Merrick Yeah, because Obama totally didn't scam the market by printing money... Oh... Wait... That's exactly what Quantitative Easing is. That's why the workforce participation rate is the lowest in decades. Reaganomics created the greatest economic boom in US history. Obamanomics created the largest unemployment rate since WWII. (Oh, and don't forget that it was the DNC controlled Congress that refused to do anything about the housing bubble back in 2006.)

  408. ***** I'm not particularly concerned about the communist propaganda hit piece you wrote for your left wing pinko commie scumbag professors. We are not responsible for other people turning their own countries into shitholes. In fact, our intervention is the reason that most of those shitholes have had an 80% reduction in starvation level poverty in just a few decades.

  415. ***** I consider not lighting people on fire in cages to be sufficiently "better" than these particular enemies. War isn't about who's right, it's about who's left.
    2
  416. oodsong They put them there. You made the decision that got you pregnant, you don't get to dodge the results of that decision by killing another person.
    2
  417. Whatfor5 You do realize that war itself is a multitude of "crimes"? Right? That's why the laws and customs of war, not civilian laws, govern the behavior of military personnel. In any case, it is well established that agents of a government power can't be prosecuted for following legal orders.
    2
  418. Lurie2010 1. Agents of the state cannot kidnap under the authority of the state, by definition. A rendition is basically a military arrest. 2. Terrorism cannot be committed by a nation state. Again, by definition.
    2
  419. Whatfor5 1. Capture, not prosecute in absentia. (Don't even get me started on the BS of putting someone on trial without them being present to defend themselves.) 2. No, but we are at war with scumbags that Italy is sheltering. 3. Somehow I doubt that involving a socialist pansy state in our foreign security is a solution. Fun fact, Italy only exists as a sovereign nation because we allow it. No European country has sovereignty that we are obliged to respect. Welcome to the reality of being a superpower.
    2
  420. Whatfor5 Not so much. 1. There was no kidnapping as agents of a state cannot kidnap anyone by definition. 2. Any trial on that topic performed in absentia has no legal standing. 3. If Italy doesn't want us going into their territory to snatch up potential terrorists, perhaps they should clean up their own act and quit letting terrorists and their supporters hide in Italy?

    2
  429. julian brown Islam is an organized group.
    2
  430. julian brown Bullshit. 1. The shooting didn't start at Planned Parenthood. 2. If his goal was to kill people there, then why did he kill so few people when he had the ability to? 3. It's not propaganda. There is documented video evidence of both those things.
    2
  431. james frazier You mean like in Ferguson and Baltimore where they burned down the neighborhood? Maybe next time we should put on blackface?

  432. ***** The problem was never with the gulags, they had been around since the 18th century in Russia. The problem was WHO was in the gulags.
    2
  433. GreenPlasticMatthew I think I made my position rather clear. Prisoners lose most of their rights for a reason. They did something so horrible, that we as a society decided that they need to be removed from circulation. The fact that said removal is temporary rather than permanent is something they should be grateful for.
    2
  434. Daniel Moore Because once you kill a person without cause, you generally stop having the right to be seen as a person.

  441. DarkSideSixOfficial The issue isn't the people, it's the QUANTITY. What part of "demographic replacement" do you not understand?
    2
  442. DarkSideSixOfficial Yeah.. Bullshit. The Middle East has been a shit hole since the Ottoman Empire was a thing.
    2
  443. DarkSideSixOfficial I served in Iraq. Don't pretend to blame their barbarism on us. Oh, and running away from your country rather than staying to fight should get you stood up against a wall and shot. Most of these "refugees" are healthy military age men.
    2
  444. DarkSideSixOfficial Again... You're ignoring 1400 years of muslim aggression against western civilization. They "wanted to be a part of Europe" by marching an army into fucking VIENNA.
    2
  445. DarkSideSixOfficial Which muslims would those be? Name one majority muslim country where I would be able to open up a Christian church and not have it firebombed.

  447. Vasiliy Alexandrovich Be that as it may, the point remains that, ultimately, it is their decision. Ukraine should withdraw their combat troops and respect the results of an internationally monitored plebiscite.
    2
  448. killercaos123 #notanargument  self determination belongs to the people of the region. If people outside the region got to vote on the issue, it's not self-determination, by definition.
    2
  449. Yolo Swaggins How about respect the rights of its citizens? That would be a good start.
    2
  450. JustAsPlanned1 Actually, Donbas has been a part of the Russian Empire since the 1700s. It's been Russian longer than America has been American. Crimea was originally conquered by the Russian Empire from the Crimean Khanate which was a leftover from the Mongolian invasions of the region. Again, it has been Russian since then.
    2
  451. tyskbulle Yes, and the people living in Donbas have a right to not consider themselves Ukrainian. The key difference is that the ethnic Russians are an overwhelming MAJORITY in Donbas.
    2
  452. Roman Dudar Um... Go look at the history of the event. The only tanks driven into Donbas before the referendum were Ukrainian.
    2
  453. Yolo Swaggins Civilians that were in an aircraft that, on radar, looked like yet another Ukrainian military aircraft. An aircraft that was violating their airspace.
    2
  454. The Dutch Merchant You mean the same "horse fuckers" who crushed every major power on the planet at the time? Really? You do realize that Russia has not lost a war for hundreds of years? Right? Who was it again that kicked Napoleon's balls up into his throat when every other European power got their teeth kicked in?
    2
  455. Tommy England Them and what army? No, seriously. What army? The UK and Germany have no military to speak of. If it wasn't for NATO, Russia would already own you.
    2
  456. +David Hopwood You mean the crazy fifth that rapes children and straps themselves with explosives because a dark age child molester told them it's ok?
    2
  457. Iamtop Um... Bullshit. The largest domestic terrorist group in the US is the Democratic Party and their black supremacist gangbanger lackeys. Look at the stats. Almost 50% of all homicides in the US are committed by less than 4% of the population.
    2
  458. David Hopwood So it takes a "nut" to note that the Democratic party is sparking race riots, refusing to prosecute ganbangers, and ignores the fact that in 2013 50% of all homicides in the US were caused by their ganbanger lackeys?
    2
  459. brainflash1 So a natural trend in human behavior is somehow to blame for for the failure of an inherently unsustainable system? Is the failure of idiots to invest in a Ponzi scheme somehow to blame for the failure of the scheme? Do you even logic bro?
    2
  460. letreason reign The reason they don't have an oil embargo is that it would destroy them far more quickly than it would destroy us. They need the money they get from the oil from starving in the desert. The US actually exports more oil than we import. Look it up, it's hilarious. The only real reason we import oil is because the own the vast majority of the world's refining capacity. As for the KKK comparison... Most whites opposed the KKK, how many American muslims to you see protesting ISIS?
    2
  461. Abu Muthana We did that between 89 and 2001. How did that work out? Oh, yeah, they rammed three planes into buildings.
    2
  462. Abu Muthana Um... No... No we weren't. The reason I specified 89 was because that was the year the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan. We weren't funding anyone there after that. Try again.
    2
  463. Abu Muthana Keep pushing us. We nuked the Japanese into the stone age. See what happens when we get actually pissed off. That's the difference between a civilized nation and Islam. It takes quite a bit to get us pissed enough to throw down the gauntlet. Think of it this way, for the past fifteen years we have been trying to HELP the middle east. What do you think will happen when we get pissed enough to try to actually hurt you fuckers?
    2
  464. Ryan Moorcroft The US never gave weapons to that Taliban fucktard. We armed the Mujahideen half a decade before the Taliban existed. Same thing for Hussein. We gave him weapons when he was being attacked by Iran, long before he went full Adolph. We are not responsible for what people turn into years after we sever ties with them. 
    2
  465. Who sent in the troops to resolve a political debate? Me thinks it was not the Russians. The Ukrainians could have negotiated. They decided to roll in the tanks. Oh... and did you miss how one of them admitted to using actual torture against a POW on camera? This is somehow equivalent to parading POWs through the streets? Really?
    2
  466. ***** I hate to break it to you, but we're not in Soviet Russia. A government has no authority to force a private business to move. Nor does it have the authority to violate legally binding contracts (i.e. permits) just because people bitch about them. As I said, if you move your dumb ass next to an oil rig, it's not the oil rig's problem.
    2
  467. ***** Actually, it does. Contracts are binding, even with the government. Why? Because the alternative is if you violate our agreement is I shoot you in the face. Would you prefer those terms?
    2
  468. Alex Mallinson What's the unemployment rate in Europe vs the UK again?
    2
  469. Alex Mallinson Yeah... If your unemployment rate DOUBLES, it will still be about the same as France.

  470. Seth9809 You mean the sort of people who would actually be refugees? Gee, what a novel concept.

    2
  477. Comrade Horsefucker Oh really? So France just managed to imported insurgents into the country? Really? Or are you talking about the same Sankara who, himself, came into power via a military coup? The same clown who committed more crimes against humanity than any of his fellow tin pot dictators? The same one who was, himself, killed by a military coup? Me thinks you need to go read a bit of history. If you're looking for a model African ruler, a devout marxist dictator probably is not the man you're looking for.
    2
  478. quagmire444 1. Fascism is actually a far left ideology, not far right. The massive state power required for fascism is directly opposite what the right wing supports. 2. He blames the people responsible. It's not rocket science. Oh, and you can't be racist against all but one of those groups, by definition. 3. Reagan signed the first massive immigration reform in US history. The one that was supposed to lead to a secured border according to Democrats. Funny how we still don't have a secure border. 4. Being pro-immigration is not the same thing as pro-open border. Illegals should be stood up against a wall and shot like any other criminal scum that invade our country. 5. You're a politically illiterate racist cunt. Please save the human race some valuable oxygen and go have yourself a nice bleach cocktail.

  479. ***** 1. Slavery stopped being a thing long before America came to be a superpower. 2. Abuse of women was NEVER tolerated in America. 3. "Minorities" with a chip on their shoulder should feel free to get the fuck out. 4. You're confusing America with Islam.

    2
  483. ***** There was no poaching. All evidence to that effect was thrown out... and no convictions exist. As for "hundreds" of acres... The total was less than 150 in a fire they had permission to set. (It spread from their farm, shit happens.) Oh, and according to the BLM survey at the time, the value of the land was improved. The "illegal" fire burned less than one acre...

  484. ***** Bureau of Land Management. Black Lives Matter are racist assholes, but they are not seizing anybody's property. They just burn down the occasional neighborhood and loot the occasional CVS.
    2
  485. ***** Black Lives Matter can't burn down a chunk of downtown Baltimore... Where was the call for airstrikes and "shoot to kill" orders there? The Bundy situation is a peaceful sit-in. Nobody was hurt. They didn't break in, they had keys. Their protest is closer to MLK than Black Lives Matter ever is.
    2
  486. BobWaffleMan They repeatedly said that they will use force to defend themselves against violence. That's their right in a free country.
    2
  487. ***** Well, unlike the Bundys, the Black Lives Matter sociopaths have a tendency to cause mass property damage. Unlike against Black Lives Matter, the US government has a bad history of dealing with protests by white people. Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc... If Waco was occupied by a non-white "minority" group, there would have been riots in every US city.
    2
  488. BobWaffleMan Oh really? So the sit-ins were more morally justified because they didn't prepare to defend themselves against unjustified violence? Really? They were breaking the exact same laws. Black Lives Matter occupies government buildings all the time. Occupy Wall Street shut down dozens of public roads and parks. Where were that calls to murder them?
    2
  489. walkwithme No, but when they take decisive action, they are not shy about arming themselves to resist government violence. I find it telling that nobody rioted over Waco where the US government burned dozens of women and children alive. I guarantee you that if they were black, there would have been riots in every major US city. That's nothing less than simple racism.
    2
  490. BobWaffleMan If you don't see the moral authority of defending yourself against unjustified violence then we have nothing to discuss.
    2
  491. jmoushm0uth Who is doing the shooting? The only thing that they said they are going to do is defend themselves. Just as at the Bundy ranch two years ago, nobody is going to get hurt if the government doesn't start shit.
    2
  492. jmoushm0uth Nobody works there. The building is unused during winter months. It's no different than the Black Panthers' march on the California state capitol. I don't seem to remember anybody threatening to shoot them or calling them terrorists.
    2
  493. K.O. Illuminati Oh really? [CITATION NEEDED] Saying you are ready to defend yourself is not a death threat. Oh, and I guess it's only terrorism when white people do it? I guess that when Black Lives Matter burns down chunks of Baltimore that's a "peaceful protest"? One that needs to be given "room to destroy"? Face it, you're just a racist.
    2
  494. jmoushm0uth Oh really? So parking an armed group in the California state hall is not "occupying"? Really? There are no threats here either. Saying "If you attack me, I will fight back" is not a death threat.
    2
  495. K.O. Illuminati Except that's not what they said. They said that if they are attacked, they are ready to defend themselves. What they are doing is exercising their first amendment right to protest and using their second amendment right to make sure that force is not used against them.
    2
  496. K.O. Illuminati No breaking in happened. They had keys. I see little difference between occupying a BLM office and occupying a state house.
    2
  497. K.O. Illuminati You're the ones who brought the Brady bunch into it. I was talking about how the BLM is using trumped up BS charges to drive ranchers off their land.
    2
  498. K.O. Illuminati Neither are the Hammonds, whose mistreatment the Bundys are there to protest.
    2
  499. K.O. Illuminati Terrorists? Really? Do you even English bro? What does that make Black Lives Matter? It's an odd terrorist group that does not kill anyone or threaten to do so unless attacked. But hey, they're white. Guess that makes them terrorists in your racist mind view.
    2
  500. K.O. Illuminati I was actually talking about the clowns who invade university libraries and shout at students about their "white privilege". But the point is that these guys are actually as peaceful as you claim Black Lives Matter are. They haven't hurt anyone. They took over some unused buildings. The only differences are... 1. They are white. 2. They are prepared to defend themselves. Please tell me how that makes them "terrorists".
    2
  501. K.O. Illuminati I hate to break it to you, but you can't hijack an unoccupied building. As I said. Do you even English bro?
    2
  502. K.O. Illuminati Oh really? So buildings where there are no people for months at a time are "occupied"? Really? Sounds like you do not, in fact, English.
    2
  503. K.O. Illuminati Except a car is not a building. You can hijack a car, you cannot hijack a building, by definition. Words have meanings fucktard.
    2
  504. K.O. Illuminati By your definition, the Black Lives Matter students are "hijacking" that library. That makes THEM terrorists. Go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit.
    2
  505. K.O. Illuminati Yes... You're so "kind" calling a bunch of peaceful protestors "terrorists"...
    2
  506. K.O. Illuminati Saying you will defend yourself if attacked is not a threat, and buildings cannot be "hijacked" by definition. As I said earlier. Do you even English bro? Go read a fucking dictionary you SJW sack of shit.
    2
  507. K.O. Illuminati Yeah... No, you really haven't your racist piece of shit. Don't you have a cross burning to get to?
    2

    2
  514. Edward Larsen Your point? That would be a crime. In our criminal justice system we don't punish the relatives of people. If we did #chiraq  would be a hell of a lot safer and emptier. Denying rights because of who you are related to is an unconstitutional violation of the 1st amendment right of assembly and association.

  515. ptegegn1 Say what you want about Gendo. He took on the world for his objective, with little outside help. He didn't sit around waiting for others to fix his problems. He solved them in the most direct and effective manner possible. The point is that the US had the best education system in the world up until the liberals got involved. The simple reality is that not everyone should get a higher education. Not everyone is capable of it. Just like not everyone is capable of being a star athlete or a crack mechanic. When you take the financial side out of it, you wind up with society footing the bill for people who are too lazy to work and too stupid to study something productive.
    2
  516. +David Price Took two seconds of google searching... So yes, 16% of refugees are female, that means the remaining 84% are male. "In Europe, over 800,000 migrants have traveled to Europe by sea in 2015, according to the United Nations refugee agency, and a little over half have come from Syria. About 62% of all migrants that have traveled to Europe this year, however, are men. A little under a quarter, 22%, are children and only 16% are women. The New York Times reported in October the mass exodus of men to parts of Europe could cause problems in both the countries they leave and the countries they enter. The head of the International Organization for Migration in Turkey told the Times: “We know on the positive side that migration can boost economies and trade and lead to cultural exchange … But if it is mismanaged, it becomes a problem for both the receiving states and the countries left behind.” http://time.com/4122186/syrian-refugees-donald-trump-young-men/
    2
  517. MrClicher The link you cite has jack shit to do with the discussion. Those are very general numbers that don't break down where the "migrants" ended up. In reality, the "migrants" going to Europe are 84% male, as per the source I cited. Citing general data that has nothing to do with the specific topic at hand just proves you have no argument to make. Now fuck off.

  518. Alexander Rose Thyren Bullshit. The Department of Defense is almost 18% of the US federal budget. Try again.
    2
  519. Ed Hdez Yes Ed, and all of them are unconstitutional. It's not my job to pay into a federally mandated Ponzi scheme. As for Nordic countries... The only reason they can do that is because they have a very small able poor population. In Nordic countries, people work for a living rather than voting for a living. That's rapidly changing with the Durka Durka invasion and they are having some serious blowback from that bullshit.
    2
  520. Alexander Rose Thyren Bullshit. The definition of rape is actually more or less standardized across all western countries. In fact, it is identical across all Scandinavian countries. Despite this, Sweden has far more rapes than any other country in Europe. Even more than neighboring countries with identical definitions.

I am a small constitutionally constrained government conservative. The government is not the solution to any problem. Big government IS the problem. 
    2

  534. Caps lock Yeah, I was there on and off from 2003 to 2007. Nothing destroyed my belief in "multiculturalism" than seeing how muslims treat each other. Islam is a death cult and needs to be annihilated.

  535. Caps lock You do realize that we don't need ground troops to wipe them out? Right? A few dozen ICBMs will do just fine. Russia and China would probably help if we agree to use low fallout weapons and split the territory afterwards.

  536. MoJony [CITATION NEEDED] Public schools exist because decentralized education did not work in pre-industrial America. This is no longer true in the information age.

    2
  545. ***** Bullshit. No other group has contributed as much to the advancement of human civilization as Europe. We have "essentially the same" genetic makeup as chimpanzees, that doesn't make us "brothers"... Europeans were selected for generations by an environment far harsher than anything found elsewhere in the world. It's the reason why we developed every great civilization since the iron age.

    2

Right? 50 years of the government trying to "help" the black community has cause poverty, homicide and drug use to go through the roof. Maybe the solution is to treat the black community just like everyone else rather than some sort of privileged class? If a black man breaks the law, throw his ass in jail and mock the retards who say "he didn't do nutting"...
    2
  581. Bumaye HGW That's sort of my point. The Belgian army has no real tanks, and no modern infantry doctrine. They are still equipped and trained to fight the Soviets on the plains of Germany. Their idea of combined arms stops at the battalion level. The idea of using company and platoon level combined arms combat teams would make their heads explode.
    2
  582. 9justify Rapes and murders are completely different. A murder does not require a complaining witness. A rape does. India doesn't have less reported rapes because less rapes happen. They have less reported rapes because nobody dares to come forward and make out a complaint. A dead body is much harder to hide than a rape.
    2
  583. 9justify Sarcasm or not, it's still retarded. The original point is spot on because murder rates are almost impossible to fudge. Rapes, as I have explained, are a whole different discussion. Gun control does jack shit to control homicide rates. Nobody can demonstrate a clear before and after affect. On the other hand, I can show that rolling back gun control in Florida has dropped their homicide rate by 80% in about a decade.

While today that might be acceptable, had he done so to any other sovereign at the time (and yes, the pope was both head of church and a head of state at the time), he would have been executed, not just confined and made to retract his statements.

  688. ***** I was deployed to Haiti myself. So, yes WE. Sheridan Robert ... and yet the Dominical Republic, right on the other side of the same island, has never had these problems... It's no paradise, but it's a hell of a lot better than most countries in the Caribbean.

  689. Pablo Herasme What the fuck are you talking about? HINT: When you use a pronoun in a paragraph it should have a noun to refer to. Do you even English bro?
    1
  690. ***** What "oppression" would that be? Would the be us fighting radicals who murder millions of people?
    1
  691. Schowiest Sleet Meh, there were plenty of successful bronze level African civilizations. Unfortunately, their social structures really didn't allow them to develop anything even approaching the Greek city states, much less Rome. So yeah, Bronze Age is about right.
    1
  692. ***** Yes fucktard, at the time it was OK. Not because "other people were doing it" but because EVERYONE was doing it. The only reason it became NOT OK is because a bunch of "evil white people" decided that everybody deserves to be treated like a human being. The Brits sent a gigantic chunk of their Navy at their own expense to enforce this policy. The Americans fought the bloodiest war in their history over it. The "white guilt" card only works on ignorant people who have no idea about the history involved.
    1
  693. ***** No fucktard. They (or at least their fellow Africans) got themselves into that mess, we got them out. The African slave trade would not have existed without the eager cooperation of African natives. In fact, without a ready supply of slaves supplied by those natives, it would not have even been economically feasible.

  694. NoWorldOrder You going to join the historical revisionist club with the retards above?
    1
  695. ***** You can't deny something that didn't happen fucktard. Again. Applying retroactive morality is the sign of someone who has no idea what the fuck they are talking about.
    1
  696. ***** You refuted jack shit. Go home kid, you're out of your weight class. Right now, you're stuffing straw men.
    1
  697. ***** [CITATION NEEDED] Oh, and I'm not defending slavery. I'm defending HISTORY from revisionists like you so eager to place the blame for a complicated socio-economic system on one group when that group was the one that ENDED the system.
    1
  698. ***** You keep bringing up the Bible, but you have yet to cite the passage on point. That makes your statement an assertion, not an argument. There are plenty of instances of people owning slaves in the Bible. Here's a passage for you. Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
    1
  699. ***** It was ACCEPTED as wrong centuries after the fact and by a vocal, but tiny, minority that then fought for decades to change public perceptions.
    1
  700. ***** You do realize that morality is a matter of public consensus? Right? Do you even anthropology bro?
    1
  701. ***** ... and about 80% of the American population at the time. Hell, even UNION states had slaves until well after the Civil War ended.
    1
  702. ***** Yeah, no... But please, keep stuffing your straw men.
    1
  703. ***** Given that societies define morality? Yes. But you'd have to get the majority of the PLANET to agree, not just the US.
    1
  704. ***** Except that the majority of people DID have a problem with the Holocaust. The Nazi party did not represent the majority of the planet. So sorry, your Third Reich was not as popular as you lefties like to think.
    1
  705. ***** Do you even know what "retroactively" means? You're clutching at straws bro and are about two posts from being blocked. It's like arguing with a particularly racist and ignorant brick wall.
    1
  706. ***** Yes. By definition. As I just said, morality is a function of societal consensus.

  707. Crouchy232323 What do we do? NOTHING. Welcome to natural selection. It is inherently immoral to keep an idiot from his well deserved Darwin award.
    1
  708. Crouchy232323 Yeah, not going to happen. My family knows how to defend themselves. No drug addict is winning a gun fight with a Marine and/or a cop.
    1
  709. Crouchy232323 Straw man much? I said VIOLENT CRIME motivated by drug abuse.
    1
  710. Crouchy232323 Let me break it down for you purple dinosaur style... Violent Crime != Death Penalty Drug Use != Death Penalty Drug Use + Violent Crime == Death Penalty Did that make it through your socialist addled brain yet?
    1
  711. Crouchy232323 No, no I haven't. Marines have this thing called "self control".
    1
  712. Crouchy232323 Far fewer than the general population.
    1
  713. ***** Yeah... I've got a degree that says otherwise. (Several in fact.) But please, try to ad-hominem your way out of a logically fallacious position. You're just showing your own incompetence and laziness.
    1
  714. ***** It's not rocket science. Take the drugs you're supposed to in the dosages you're supposed to. I have a lifetime script for Vicodin that I have not filled in years. I'd rather deal with the pain than run the risk of becoming a junkie. 
    1
  715. John D I don't give a shit. You don't start using drugs because you're under the influence of drugs. That's a circular fucking argument.
    1
  716. John D Perhaps their parents should have done their fucking job? I didn't touch a drop of alcohol without parental supervision until I was 21. Even then, I never got into the sorts of boozing that is common in Marine units. Why? Because my parents raised me right and I have this little thing called "discipline" to reinforce it. Parents that allow their kids to experiment with drugs need to get their teeth kicked in and them AND their children need to be whipped in a public square.
    1
  717. John D I expect everybody to be AT LEAST like me. I'm hardly a paragon of perfection. If you don't hold people to standards, you have no standards.
    1
  718. ***** I am, at best, an average citizen. What I am not, is a piece of garbage with no self control. You need to go read yourself some Nietzsche. At the end of the day, the only things that matter are your own will and what you use it to achieve.
    1
  719. ***** Ah... Classic liberal. When you don't have a rational argument... Ad-hominem it is. Come back when you have a rebuttal rather than slinging bullshit personal attacks.

  720. Brandon Freeman They can be as different as they want. What they are not allowed to do is demand that I pay for it.

    1
  722. ***** It's idiots like you who would hide behind the title of "Republican" while compromising everything that true conservatives stand for. Embrace your commie brothers fucktard.
    1
  723. ***** Son, I have degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from a tier one university along with a law degree from the Law School from the same university. Just because I detest your pathetic excuses does not mean I "don't understand" them. I just don't give a shit.
    1
  724. ***** There is no such thing as an "unavoidable circumstance". Ultimately, you have to choose to put the needle in your arm.

  725. John D The Soviet Union was issuing "silver spoons" was that the line next to the bread coupons?
    1
  726. John D Fucktard, how did he get to be an addict in the first place? He CHOSE to smoke crack. Claiming that someone who's on crack can't be held responsible for not making rational choices is circular reasoning. Crack is a hell of a drug, but it doesn't propagate its effects back through time.

  727. erich casey There's a difference between helping and being FORCED to help at government gunpoint. It is not my financial responsibility to take care of people who can't be bothered to take care of themselves.

  730. John D Exceptional? No. Superior to these sub-human scumbags? Yes.

  732. John D I've got a CV that says otherwise.

  733. John D For someone who doesn't care, you're awfully aggressive. I still fail to see how their welfare is my financial or moral responsibility.
    1
  734. ***** Yeah... Good luck with that. 1st amendment and all that.
    1
  735. franny YNWA Yeah... Funny how we do neither of those things. Just because terrorists use women and children as human shields doesn't make it our problem. It's called collateral damage. It's been a part of war since war was a thing.
    1
  736. It also did't teach me about the fact that addicts are sub-human scum that would use any available excuse to explain away their personal moral failure. Oh... Wait... It did.

  737. Ah... You're adorable. Go learn English then come talk to me kiddo. While you're at it, get out of your mother's basement. I'm sure she'd like to get her kink dungeon back.

  738. NoDDinOuTMeLoDy Sounds like you're not quire paying attention to those 12 steps. I believe taking responsibility for your own actions is among them.

  740. FYI... For those who are concerned about costs to society of criminal drug addicts... It's actually not that bad. A bullet to the back of the head costs ~$0.20 and a pine box can be had for ~$50
    1
  741. Kevin Z That would only be true if I was a criminal drug addict. Given my job, that's highly unlikely.
    1
  742. Kevin Z That was sorta my point. Thanks for agreeing.
    1
  743. Atticus X That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. So, by your logic, criminals can only be judged by other criminals? Oh, hell no.
    1
  744. Jason That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Do you know what your chances are of "catching" cocaine addiction of you don't use cocaine? ZERO.
    1
  745. Ok... fucktard... what part of "if you never try drugs, you will never get addicted to drugs" do you not understand? I don't give a shit about your mealy mouth advocacy "science". When the "data" comes from groups who ONLY EXIST to push a narrative, EVERYTHING they say is irrelevant.
    1
  746. CHRISTIAN gamerXD No, I'm sitting in my office with my gun on my hip. I don't commit crimes, so the retardation of criminals does not concern me.

  748. richard prudencio Gee... if only we had an example of a country that decriminalized hard narcotics... Oh, yeah... We do. It's called China circa 1850. Post Opium Wars... I wonder what happened? Yes. People who use illegal drugs need to be stood up against the wall and shot.

  749. Trump has no affiliation "with the people"? Really? Is that why people are coming out for him in record numbers?
    1
  750. ***** Right... As opposed to the woman who magically made 150 million dollars on a government salary...
    1
  751. ***** She was worth $0 when she left the White House. She was making a government salary ever since. That $150,000,000 is called corruption.
    1
  752. ***** Irrelevant. She was broke when she left the White House. How do you go from broke to $150 million on a government salary?

  753. ***** http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/210378-president-clinton-defends-hillary-as-not-out-of-touch
    1
  754. ***** Ok... How do you go from 5 million to 150 million? "Speaking fees" are basically a way to cover up bribes.
    1
  755. ***** You can't be corrupt if you have no government power. By definition.
    1
  756. ***** 1. You can't take bribes if you're not in political power. By definition. 2. Show me one example of Trump bribing anybody. That's a rather serious allegation. (and actionable slander if untrue)
    1
  757. ***** Not bribes. Legal campaign contributions. Try again.
    1
  758. ***** I think that money is speech. It's no different that Trump buying some prime time TV slots and going on TV to support the candidate of his choice.
    1
  759. ***** You have yet to show how he "bought" anybody. By your logic putting a Hillary sticker on your car is corruption.
    1
  760. ***** No, you showed the Trump gave money to politicians. Non-sequitur. The SCotUS has ruled that political donations are a form of protected political speech. The only difference between Trump and your Hillary sticker is that you bought one, and Trump bought several million.
    1
  761. ***** Or Bernie. Same difference.
    1
  762. Ah... Trials in absentia... Typical liberal fascist BS. Just what we learned to expect from Italy. Do you have Mussolini back up and running yet? Or are you looking for an Italian Stalin?
    1
  763. 10anto82 Yeah... Make us. You forget who is the superpower in the conversation. Feel free to leave NATO if you don't like it.
    1
  764. James P That's cute... You think China would last a month without the US economy propping them up...
    1
  765. 10anto82 ... yes and your entire military doesn't add up to a single corps. I mean seriously, your army has ~100,000 active troops. Your navy ~30,000. There are more police in New York State than you have personnel in your armed forces. To give you the idea, the United States Marine Corps (the smallest branch of the US military) has your entire country outgunned.
    1
  766. 10anto82 They would get a one finger salute. China needs the US far more than the US needs China. Basically, they lack the ability to force us to pay.
    1
  767. 10anto82 Your military has no combat capability without US support. If you had been required to defend yourselves for the past half century, you'd be speaking Russian by now.
    1
  768.  @10anto82  so… look at how well that aged. Funny how when Europe gets invaded by Russia, the first thing that happens is that you clowns are groveling for US tax money. Let’s see what happens when we cut funding to Ukraine and withdraw from NATO next year.
    1
  769. Hey fucktard... Last time I checked, the people of Donbas have every right to decide what happens to their own homes.
    1
  770. gohstdude2 Oh really? It's their land. Perhaps the Ukrainian Nazis should move the fuck out of Donbas?
    1
  771. gohstdude2 Oh really? Which side was claiming fucking SWASTIKA was a "slavic symbol"? 
    1
  772. gohstdude2 [CITATION NEEDED] I call bullshit.
    1
  773. gohstdude2 If it is, I'm sure you'd be able to cite a source for it. Since you have failed to do so... Yeah... Bullshit.
    1
  774. gohstdude2 Not an argument. You made the assertion, it's on you to prove it. But please, keep embarrassing yourself.
    1
  775. gohstdude2 Again, it's not my job to do your research for you. You made the argument, it's your job to prove it. In any case, I'm about two posts from being done with your bullshit.
    1
  776. gohstdude2 You're not very clear on how arguments work? Are you kiddo? Why don't you run along, the adults are busy.
    1
  777. gohstdude2 ... and yet I seem to have a better grasp of debate rules than you do. How much must you suck to get outwitted by a "12 year old"?
    1
  778. gohstdude2 Last time I checked, the land belongs to the people who live there. The people who live there want to be a part of Russia. The rest of Ukraine doesn't get a say.
    1
  779. gohstdude2 Do the people there want to be a part of Germany? No? Then you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
    1
  780. gohstdude2 You have yet to provide a source for your BS claim.
    1
  781. gohstdude2 Oh really? Is that why you have to source a fringe source with no actual statistics?
    1
  782. gohstdude2 A single character piece is not a source about general demographics. Do you even logic bro?
    1
  783. DFandV Except that you don't have an inherent right to take money from others at legal gunpoint. That's called armed robbery.
    1
  784. DFandV Except that taxes are supposed to pay for things that everyone uses. (Roads, cops, fire department, the military) I paid almost $200,000 USD for my education. Interestingly, I had zero problems paying it back. Why are the brits whining about paying barely a third of that? Could it be that they are going to university to learn things that are not worth a university education?
    1
  785. DFandV Yeah... Life is not fair. But please, tell me all about the "privilege" I enjoyed by spending the majority of my early life in a podunk village in the back woods of Russia which didn't even have running water in most homes. I fail to see how it is my responsibility to pay for some spoiled liberal brat to spend five years in school getting a degree in underwater basketweaving. Only to be insulted as "greedy" because I dare to want to keep the majority of what I earn to provide for my family instead of paying the majority of my income in taxes to support the families of worthless lowlives.
    1
  786. jason valenzuela Sorry bro, but you fail the second you argued that the government is competent enough to pull off a conspiracy of the scale you imply. The last thing any government in the western world can be described as is competent.
    1
  787. V-FOR-VICTOR Because, clearly, the Ukrainian government is the epitome of integrity, and efficiency... Oh... Wait... Could it possibly be the fact that Kiev has been screwing over Donbas and the Crimea for so long that they got fed up and told you to go fuck yourselves?
    1
  788. Alexandru Nan Ernest Because clearly, the idea that Ukraine has been deliberately persecuting ethnic Russians is absurd... All evidence to that effect be damned.
    1
  789. BowNow Do you even English bro? The increase was INSIDE SWEDEN. Recording would not affect that. The crimes were recorded the same way before the spike as they were after.
    1
  790. The Omegazad Um... No. No it didn't. Go fuck yourself.
    1
  791. ***** Don't get me wrong. There's no love lost between me and the separatists. They are pulling some KGB level bullshit. The best solution would be an internationally observed repeat of the secession referendum with Russian, US, and EU backing. However, Ukraine still insists on demanding that the entire country be allowed to vote in a referendum to let one region secede. That's like requiring all divorces to be by mutual agreement. Anybody think THAT would be a good idea?
    1
  792. lanciadr International law trumps tyrannical state law. Besides, the Ukrainians rewrite their constitution every other week.
    1
  793. Or... Complete bullshit. Weapons prevent far more wars than they cause.

  794. ura soul [CITATION NEEDED] The lack of a major war in seventy years calls bullshit.

  795. ura soul Oh that's rich... 1. Has no argument. 2. Makes grossly overreaching conspiracy theory declaration. 3. Gets but hurt when people call him on his bullshit. You can block me, but these responses will be here forever, and people will be able to see that you're completely full of shit.
    1
  796. ura soul Your argument is complete bullshit... "Wars without weapons would be almost impossible." Please tell me about how we never had wars before industrialized munitions manufacturing. The reality is that the size and scale of wars had been escalating up until WWII. Then the military industrial complex allowed the major powers on this planet to develop their militaries to such an extent as to act as an effective deterrent to outright war between significant nations. A deterrent that has worked for most of a century.
    1
  797. ura soul Wow... I think you need to loosen that tinfoil hat. It's cutting off blood flow to what's left of your brain.

  798. DatZortaw I'd say "brigade" is generous for their formations. Their mechanized "brigade" has no armor to speak of. Their heaviest armored vehicle is a glorified IFV.
    1
  799. DatZortaw The Dutch have really become dependent on NATO. Hell without French, German, UK, or US support they can't even field a self-sufficient unit. (I'm looking at you, "mechanized" brigade with no organic armor component.) The hilarious part is that even the JSDF can do better, and their military was designed from the ground up to act in a support role to US forces. (Don't believe me? Check out their naval complement and compare it to the auxiliary and support component of a USN carrier strike group.)

  800. +TheGreekSpawn How is having the highest standard of living on the planet a "poison"? There's a reason why the poorest American lives better than middle class Venezuelans.
    1
  801. suvazul It's called the "No True Scotsman Fallacy" look it up.
    1
  802. TheGreekSpawn No true Scotsman fallacy. Your argument is invalid.
    1
  803. TheGreekSpawn Stalin was a Marxist. So was Mao. So are the current leaders of North Korea. To claim otherwise, as you are doing, is to argue a "no true Scotsman" fallacy. In fact, almost every industrial scale mass murderer in the 20th century was a socialist or marxist of some kind.
    1
  804. piggystriker2 I've trained with your Marines. They are tough, but they have nothing on Ranger school. Their training standards are about the same as the USMC. Ranger training is a whole other level.
    1
  805. ***** I know that in my entire career in the USMC I have never seen a female who could meet the physical standards I set for my Marines. (I have yet to meet the female who could do twenty pull-ups.) It's not their fault, their bodies simply aren't built for it. Given that Ranger school is supposed to be as much a physical challenge as it is a mental one, I find it rather hard to believe that two females managed to meet standards if they were not lowered. Maybe I had too much respect for people who managed to earn Ranger tabs, but then, I never went to Ranger school. It might be easier than I thought. But one of two things must be true. 1. Ranger school is not the grueling ordeal that people describe it as. (At least not on the level of similar schools in other services.) or 2. The the standards were lowered to allow females a chance to pass. I know for a fact that no female could make it through BRC or SSBC. Much as I admire the fortitude of female Marines, I know that a female Marine simply is not capable of the same things as a 250b leatherneck. As I said, it's not their fault, but muscle density and endurance simply don't lie.
    1
  806. Dee Huff That's a nice sentiment, but it basically means that ranger tabs are not what they used to be. If the Army wants Ranger school to basically be an advanced leadership course, that's fine. But let's stop pretending that graduating such a course is some sort of major accomplishment if it is.
    1
  807. DaHuntsman1 Spend thirteen weeks on the Island and tell me how "overrated" Marine recruit training is. The difference between Marines and Soldiers is that Marines are far more proficient with individual marksmanship. Unfortunately, the Army doesn't even do a 500 meter qualification anymore.
    1
  808. DaHuntsman1 Is that why the Army consistently gets whooped by the Marines in marksmanship competitions? The reality is that Marines haven't been dependent on the Navy for transport in decades. We operated in both Iraq and Afghanistan with little if any Navy support. Modern Marines are less seaborne infantry and more of a national level QRF. You can put a Marine task force on the ground with equipment anywhere in the world within a few days. Even Airborne units take longer to spin up. I'd say that every 03 Marine would fit in just fine in the 75th. Reason being is that our mode of operation requires us to have a higher proficiency level than the average Army grunt. We also have organic armor, air support, and artillery at the task force level.
    1
  809. Dee Huff Oh please... Ranger school is about as much about leadership as BUDS is. It was supposed to be a training school for some of the best light infantry in the world. Now, it's basically a ticket punching machine for people with stars in their eyes. For crying out loud, I know a 14A O4 who has a ranger tab. I was suspicious when I met guys like him (great guy, but he's a POG's POG), but this seals the deal.

  811. Viscount Given how much more money you make as a result... It's a worthwhile investment.
    1
  812. Viscount ... and then pay of that degree in absurd income taxes for the rest of your life. The beauty of the American system is that you pay for the college you use.
    1
  813. Viscount Well, in our system, you can give that extra money to charity and accomplish the same thing without holding a gun to other people's heads to fund your "philanthropy".
    1
  814. Viscount Yeah... Because giving people options of... 1. Give us your money 2. Leave 3. Go to jail Is TOTALY not holding a gun to their heads... So what you're saying is that the mafia did nothing wrong because if you don't like to pay your protection money, you can always leave?
    1
  815. Viscount The Nazis could have made the same argument in 1938... How did that work out?
    1
  816. Viscount So... again... Your argument is that extortion is not wrong... Ok...
    1
  817. Viscount Please answer the questions. How is demanding that you pay money, go to jail, or leave not extortion? How is it morally superior when done by "government" rather than the mob?
    1
  818. Viscount Good luck doing that when your degree is in underwater basketweaving. Most of these degrees make you unemployable. Not only do you learn nothing useful to a company making money. You become an impossible to deal with entitled twat.

  825. Omar Abbasir Ah, yes... A "pebble"... You do realize that in most countries throwing a rock at someone constitutes attempted murder? Right?

  826. ***** Both of the "graduates" were recycled completely through the program three times. It is unheard of for someone to get three shots at Ranger school. Two occasionally happens, but is incredibly rare. Let's simple it up. 18 women went in, 2 came out, but only after being allowed to retry three times. I guarantee you that the retry rate is much higher than for male applicants. Ranger School is not something you get to keep trying until you pass.
    1
  827. bilbo knows I count 1 real mass shooting in the US in 2015. I count 3 in France. Try again.
    1
  828. Ok a few history questions for the ignorant. 1. The KKK coopted the United States flag all through the 30s. Does that mean we need to ban that? 2. The Nazis coopted a Hindu holy symbol. Do we need to ban the swastika? 3. Who committed the first act of war during the Civil War? 4. What was the actual flag of the Confederacy? The reality is that the battle flag of Northern Virginia is no more a symbol of racism than flag of the United States. I find it ironic that so many Americans are ignorant of their own history and the real tragedy of the Civil War. They like to frame it as a "good vs evil" war when slavery was legal in many Union states until long AFTER the war. There is a reason why many historians refer to the Civil War as the "War of Northern Aggression". Go read a few books on the topic. Preferably ones that draw from primary sources and don't ignore the fact that the Union government committed war crimes that would not be seen in the world again until WWI.

  829. I love how these socialist leeches complain about how the "government" doesn't "provide" them with jobs... This is the sort of scum we need a wall to keep the fuck out of the country.

  831. ... and Demokkkrats call the GOP the party of old, white racists... I bet most of these fuckers are pissed that the Klan is gone.
    1
  832. Der Ubermensch You do know that Jews didn't hit the Klan's hit list until the 80s? Right?
    1
  833. Der Ubermensch I doubt these fossils remember anything after the Iran hostage crisis.

  834. +D*R*E*B*I*N 893 D*R*E*B*I*N 893 Oh really? They are "white supremacists"? You've got a citation for that besides some obscure chop-shop "interview"?

  835. I'm trying to figure out how any of this is our problem. If they can't get their shit together. Fuck them.

  836. Moduhlize Adam Lanza was just plain NUTS. He was a liberal snowflake who should have been locked up with the other nutjobs. There is a difference between association and causation. Learn it snowflake.

  837. Harvey Rabbit Or we can just take all the money being used to fund handouts to worthless scumbags and channel it to those same orphanages. We already spend over a Trillion dollars per year on entitlement programs. More money is not needed, we just need to spend it smarter.
    1
  838. Harvey Rabbit Which is absolute bullshit. Try using "I was drunk" as a defense to any crime, ever. I'm surprised that has EVER survived a constitutional challenge.
    1
  839. Harvey Rabbit Medicaid, all forms of welfare, and Obamacare. Those cost more than 600 BILLION dollars ANNUALLY. (That's the same as the entire budget for the Department of Defense.) More than enough cash to set up any school / orphanage system you would be interested in.
    1
  840. Harvey Rabbit I beg to differ. The problem is children being killed. This solves that problem. Poor people being useless is NOT the problem and therefore does not need a solution.
    1
  841. Harvey Rabbit Irrelevant. The solution is valid regardless of which state I live in.
    1
  842. Harvey Rabbit I'd love to see a citation to that "study"... sounds like complete and utter bullshit. As for Africa... Not our problem.
    1
  843. Harvey Rabbit That's about CHILDREN fucktard, that has jack shit to do with anything.
    1
  844. Harvey Rabbit Because one is in America (our problem) and the other is in Africa (not our problem). Do you even logic bro?
    1
  845. Harvey Rabbit Right, refuge in absurdity. Would I like Africa to not be a shithole? Yes, but that does not mean that I have to ignore immoral acts closer to home that I can more directly affect. 
    1
  846. Harvey Rabbit Taking human life is not always murder fuckatard. Doing so without just cause is. In vitro is a minor issue compared to abortion almost all embryos produced during the procedure are used for attempted implantation... Again, priorities.
    1
  847. RikaDreamer Right... You seem to not understand the concept of nations and sovereignty. Let me simple it up for you. I am an American. I paid in blood for that privilege. That makes AMERICAN issues, my problem. I am not Chinese. What happens in China is NOT my problem. I may find it detestable, but I'm not going to go around fixing other people's shit before my own is in order.
    1
  848. Harvey Rabbit I hate to break it to you, but even libertarians consider murder to be an act worthy of government interference.
    1
  849. Harvey Rabbit I disagree.
    1
  850. RikaDreamer Who the fuck do you think will wing up paying the national debt? The debt accrued by handing our unearned money to worthless lowlives.
    1
  851. pseudocomrade09 Nope. You do not have a "right" to kill an unborn child. Roe v Wade is based on a legal fiction. Try again.
    1
  852. ***** Yes... Again... Let's pretend that actions 2000+ years ago and actions today are morally equivalent. 
    1
  853. the amazing Jack Actually, the earth had been accepted to be round for centuries before Columbus. The disagreement was as to the size. Columbus was actually wrong, he calculated the diameter to be much smaller and tried to reach Asia by sailing across the Atlantic. The reason that nobody wanted to sponsor him was because they didn't know the Americas existed. They thought the entire gap was open water.
    1
  854. King Barry Scott It's a Spanish pejorative that literally translates to pig. Standard ignorant response from someone who can't even be bothered to cite a historical source for his "knowledge"... I find ignorant bigots amusing.

  855. Hans Blitz I'm less concerned about the 13th century arabs than I am about those who live like they still belong there.

  856. ***** Last time I checked Christians weren't declaring holy war on and decapitating infidels.
    1
  857. ***** When was the last Crusade again? Get out of the 12th century assclown.
    1
  858. ***** Oh really? Please tell me more about how the KKK bombing churches was a christian act. Tell me more about how bombing mass murder factories is morally wrong.
    1
  859. ***** Yes because the child definitely deserves the death penalty to avoid the woman some minor inconvenience... and you damn well know that 90%+ of abortions are basically used as a form of birth control
    1
  860. ***** So it's a quantum baby now? Neither alive, nor dead? Really? If killing is wrong, how can using violence to prevent mass murder be wrong?  
    1
  861. ***** Except for one crucial difference. Sperm cannot develop into an adult human, a fetus can.
    1
  862. ***** A sperm is not a genetically distinct organism. It's no different than the millions of skin cells you shed every day. Do you even biology bro?
    1
  863. ***** Wow... By your "logic" a pile of bricks is the same thing as a hose. Maybe I need to break this down for your dumb ass purple dinosaur style? 1/2 + time != 1 1/2 + 1/2 + time == 1 1 + time == 1 That make sense yet dumbfuck?
    1
  864. ***** I'm sure all the microbes you murder when you murder when you wash your hands would agree with you.
    1
  865. That assumes you trust the cops. The point of the matter is that if you don't exercise your right, it quickly becomes a privilege. Notice how nobody was shot.
    1
  866. killercaos123 Yes... Because a retired Marine totally gives a shit about what other people think... or needs to compensate for something... Fuck off.
    1
  867. killercaos123 His motivations are to remind people that the 2nd amendment is a thing and you don't get to fuck with it.
    1
  868. killercaos123 No, there are not. If you don't like the Constitution of the United States, you can propose an amendment, get the fuck out, or shut the fuck up.
    1
  869. Krixig Yeah... The "rights" were not expanded, Hitler just used it as a fig leaf to arm his followers. The average german was as disarmed as ever.
    1
  870. Justin Credible Been there, done that. Making real money now. Not interested. As for civilian casualties... Welcome to war. Shit happens. It just happens a lot less these days comparing to, for example, WWII. If you can figure out a way to dig out people willing to use civilians as human shields, I'd love to hear it. (I'm sure the pentagon would be rather curious as well.)
    1
  871. Justin Credible Riiight... Because islamic extremists have NEVER been known to set up their bases and operations near civilians...
    1
  872. Justin Credible [CITATION NEEDED] US Soldiers DELIBERATELY killing civilians is bullshit. It happens extremely rarely and the troops involved are generally charged with and convicted of murder. As for the hospital... Just because someone SAYS it's a hospital does not mean it IS one. If I was in charge of an air strike, I'm not about to take the word of the people I'm fighting over intel and reports from the ground. MSF set up their hospital in a war zone and wound up getting hit when troops took fire from there. It happens. That's why you don't set up hospitals in combat zones.
    1
  873. Justin Credible It's only a war crime if you can prove that the hospital was never used for military purposes and that the information identifying it as such came from a reliable source. You need to brush up on your laws and customs of war. As for your link... Notice how the man involved was being charged with murder. His testimony is self serving, unverifiable, and therefore bullshit.
    1
  874. xDREAMxWEAVERx1 Ever heard of giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" fucktard? That makes you both a traitor and an enemy combatant.
    1
  875. Loki Savage Not when it conflicts with the CotUS, no. So sorry, no foreign treaty can give you immunity for treason.
    1
  876. Saxon Weed Yeah... I just happen to have a different background than most combat veterans. Funny how that happens when you speak five languages. I also have a zero tolerance policy for retards who help the people we're fighting.
    1
  877. Jordan A You mean how the US is doing now in Ukraine by funneling "aid" to "pro-US" forces? (That last one was a direct quote from CNN.) If Russia overran Ukraine, they would not need to pay reparations for jack shit. Who would make them? Europe? Them and what army? (HINT: The US is not getting involved in this one, if we didn't put boots on the ground to stop ISIS, we certainly aren't going to do it against Russia.)
    1
  878. Adam Wolfson There is no such thing as a "non-violent" drug offender. So... Yes.
    1
  879. Adam Wolfson No, it's a simple fact. Either you commit violence to get drugs, or you pay someone who does.
    1
  880. Susan B Being an engineer who knows how data correlation is supposed to work, I call bullshit.
    1
  881. That's adorable, you think it's possible to plant DNA from a cheek swab.
    1
  882. Taru The point is that the source of the sample is easy to ID. Planting a cheek swab sample is impossible because the cells in the sample wouldn't be cells normally found at a crime scene.
    1
  883. jean jambon ... and you wonder why cops don't like liberals?
    1
  884. Thomas Graham "easily"? Really? Forget biochemistry, have you studied basic physiology?
    1
  885. Thomas Graham Please tell me more about how "easy" it is to cultivate white blood cells without professional grade lab equipment and supplies.
    1
  886. Thomas Graham Yeah... You and I have a very different definition of "easy". The reality is that its a very expensive and involved process.
    1
  887. Thomas Graham So, not a real concern for "framing" people...
    1
  888. Thomas Graham Now multiply that by 100 because you're hiring people to break the law. Do you think that labs don't keep track of components used?
    1
  889. Thomas Graham Yeah... It only it were that easy.
    1
  890. KingJackass It's bullshit. Note the lack of piles of dead bodies in the LA, Ferguson, and Baltimore riots. The way you tell it, the US government revolves riots in Napoleonic fashion.
    1
  891. elbert cates Eric Garner was a felon. He was using force to resist arrest. His death is unfortunate, but not unexpected. He had over 30 arrests on his record. They included, assault, grand larceny, and restating arrest. Somehow I don't feel sorry for people who prey on their fellow citizens.
    1
  892. derty.QWERTY42N I would question Garner as an example. The guy was huge and was resisting arrest. He had a rap sheet several pages long. This is not the persecuted black man you're looking for. How would you have proposed the cops take him into custody? Ask nicely? Really?
    1
  893. derty.QWERTY42N I always question any partial tapes of the incident. The grand jury called bullshit. I'm going to go with their call as they have access to everything and I don't. My main problem is that the Black Live Matter hate group keep putting up career felons as if they are some sort of victims. Quite frankly, the planet is better off with Garner and Grey not in it. Perhaps if the SJWs spent as much time actually preventing crime in their supposedly "persecuted" urban communities as they do bitching about a few thugs getting roughed up by cops who are understandably fed up with their bullshit.
    1
  894. Michael X Sure... They can take their turn after every single "Black Lives Matter" looter and "Occupy Wall Street" hippie. But I suppose government jack boots aren't as big a problem for you when they are not stomping on YOUR neck.
    1
  895. Chris boom It's better than using a "protest" as an excuse to loot you some new Nikes.
    1
  896. mark johnson Is that why a higher percentage of blacks use welfare than any other group? Is that why they vote Democrat? Even after they are dead?
    1
  897. mark johnson There are also six times more of them than blacks fucktard. That's what happens when you're the majority. However, a larger PORTION of the black population is on welfare than any other ethnic group. As I said.
    1
  898. mark johnson Do you even math bro? Do you understand the concept of "percentage"?
    1
  899. Kehinde Odusanya I don't seem to remember two riots in 12 months over a rapper.
    1
  900. fmlAllthetime Oh really? So we are supposed to believe in secret evil cabals now? Ones that manage to push their racist agenda without support of law or the general public? Really? Go grab Occam's Razor, your "theory" needs a shave. 
    1
  901. lionthieves No fucktard, it's not about convincing you. It's about mocking you. Gay marriage hurts me because it raises my tax bill by letting them dodge taxes. Legalized pot I have no opinion on as it's no worse than alcohol.
    1
  902. Aaron Zane Yeah bullshit. Less than 40% of the US budget goes to general welfare expenditures. (Roads, the military, etc...) The rest is entitlements. Entitlements that are inherently unconstitutional under the 5th amendment's prohibition of taking things without "just compensation" as 60% of my taxes are taken from me without any compensation to me. As for "starving on the street"... Unlike that human garbage, I have marketable skills. Fuck them.
    1
  903. Aaron Zane Let me simple it up for you. Armed robbery by the majority is still armed robbery. You have no right to vote my money into your pocket.
    1
  904. Aaron Zane Really? So subsidizing lazy lowlifes benefits me? What the fuck are you smoking?
    1
  905. Aaron Zane Because they can't be bothered to take care of themselves. It's not that hard. If people in Somalia can do it, so can the lazy poor in the US.
    1
  906. Aaron Zane Fucktard, I have not lived with my parents in decades. Your worthless ass is the only one that lives on handouts.
    1
  907. Ronald Reaganomics Try it fucktard. I'm the one with the guns.
    1
  908. Ronald Reaganomics Yeah, I've got a DD-214 that says otherwise.
    1
  909. Aaron Zane I don't hide behind shit. Funny how you clowns were the ones who started making threats.
    1
  910. verybigname Hillarious... What's your degree in? Mine are Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Patent Law. Me thinks that your pseudo religious belief in "climate scientists" who would not have jobs is there was not problem to be both irrational and hilarious. It's called a vested interest. If you're writing a grant proposal to study human made climate change, you're not going to admit that there is no such thing.
    1
  911. Aaron Zane Or I make stupid money and work from my home office. It gives me plenty of spare time to mock libertards like you.
    1
  912. Aaron Zane ... and yet... I do. There might even be a hint as to how I paid for my degrees in my previous posts... Go read them again... Slowly. HINT: Not FAFSA.
    1
  913. Aaron Zane HINT: DD-214.
    1
  914. Aaron Zane You mean my PAYCHECK? Handouts are given for doing nothing. I'm short one functional leg. I did quite a bit. The DD-214 was the hint that was mentioned earlier in the conversation fucktard. It's also one of the few form codes every veteran remembers.
    1
  915. Ronald Reaganomics As I said elsewhere, it's not easy to get an armed man into a cattle car. Good luck with that.
    1
  916. Ronald Reaganomics Yeah... Keep thinking that libertard. Keep thinking that.
    1
  917. Aymeric de Theux Which side is stabbing random people and which side is trying to protect their country from yet ANOTHER Arab invasion?

  918. Anarchist Fidai CITATION NEEDED, I don't recall us giving jack shit back to Mexico... Ever.
    1
  919. Anarchist Fidai I hate to break it to you, but the borders of Israel have been stable since 1970.
    1
  920. Anarchist Fidai It will until the civilized world wakes up and realizes that Islam is a threat to human civilization that needs to be exterminated.
    1
  921. Joshua Apcar I hate to break it to you, but if we wanted to kill civilians, there would be no muslims left. I was IN Iraq, most (99.9%+) of the casualties from that war were muslims killing other muslims or using civilians as human shields.
    1
  922. Anarchist Fidai Well aware. Thanks. It's time to let loose the legions.
    1
  923. Bash M Right... That's why a non-country has a seat at the UN...
    1
  924. Anarchist Fidai Ukrainian Orthodox, actually. I like to think of it as Catholicism lite. All the common decency, none of the Pope.
    1
  925. Anarchist Fidai Except for the fact that there are plenty of Arabs in the Israeli government. The problem is not arabs in general. The problem is those that refuse to assimilate into Israeli society and then demand to be treated like other Israeli citizens.
    1
  926. Anarchist Fidai I already cited a video fucktard. Look up. ... and no, when you lose a war that you started in the first place, you don't get to bitch about the results. It's like the Nazis bitching about the four decade occupation of Germany after WWII.
    1
  927. dachriller You do realize that the US EXPORTS oil? Right? The rise in cost of fuel is due to TAXES.
    1
  928. dachriller It is effectively infinite. It's sufficient to last well over a century. The rare earth myth is exactly that, a myth. It fails to adjust for the gigantic deposits that are just not economic to exploit. (Something that will change quickly if the price goes up.) As for pollution... Go talk to the PRC. China is responsible for 60% of the world's air pollution with the remainder being generated by other "developing" countries. 
    1
  929. Brad Steeg Bullshit. CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere do not directly correlate to any statistically significant temperature increase. That's been mathematically proven years ago.
    1
  930. dachriller Look at the video I posted numerous times in this thread. A Nobel Prize winning physicist takes their data apart like wet tissue paper.
    1
  931. quatsch344 Because their way of thinking is called Islam smart one.
    1
  932. ThreeHeadedWalrus Your sample tends to be self selecting. Random samples show that muslims (on average) are far from good people. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/11/europe/britain-muslims-survey/
    1
  933. ThreeHeadedWalrus 1. I hate fedoras. 2. I spend more time outside than your pasty ass. 3. My beard is very neatly trimmed. But please tell me more about your wonderful counter argument based on the fact that you clearly missed the part where I'm a USMC veteran who participates in about a half dozen shooting competitions a month.
    1
  934. ThreeHeadedWalrus Yeah... I've got a DD-214 that says otherwise.
    1
  935. ThreeHeadedWalrus HINT: There's a reason I use an avatar from a show I saw when it first aired... It might give you an idea of how old I am. WHERE I first saw it is a bit of a giveaway too... HINT #2: Where do Marines have their only major overseas base?
    1
  936. ***** Is that why the rest of the "developed world" comes to the US for medical treatment? Private healthcare has objectively better patient outcomes. Socialized healthcare wastes pubic money on people who are not worth the oxygen they breathe.
    1
  937. ThreeHeadedWalrus Bullshit. There is no better healthcare anywhere in the world.
    1
  938. ThreeHeadedWalrus It that why the majority of modern medical advances come out of US hospitals?
    1
  939. TOXTETH MASSIVE L8 0151 Obviously bad photoshop is obvious.
    1
  940. TOXTETH MASSIVE L8 0151 ... and yet you prop up remoaner propaganda... Funny how I have a hard time believing you.
    1
  941. TOXTETH MASSIVE L8 0151 Oh, so you're a commie... If so, you voted... poorly.
    1
  942. TOXTETH MASSIVE L8 0151 You do realize that people OWN businesses right? By destroying a business you're destroying somebody's life's work.
    1
  943. TOXTETH MASSIVE L8 0151 Yeah... You clearly have no idea how economics work. Go home leftie, you're drunk.
    1
  944. crackledoodle You mean the same Scandinavian countries who would be a part of Russia if US funded NATO didn't keep the Russians off them? How well would they do without the "evil capitalist" US there to protect them. (Fun fact, Sweden is also the rape capital of the western world.)
    1
  945. +EisforEvil Well, I'm sure that they will get on that as soon as a CVS gets looted and buildings burned down. But hey, I guess an actually peaceful protest is the same thing as a full blown riot... to a racist piece of shit.
    1
  946. wizzzer1337 Yeah... What do you think will happen if the feds pull another Waco? Me thinks high velocity lead poisoning will be the leading cause of death for your pet jackbooted thugs.
    1
  947. Tom jackson You mean loot and burn shit? Right? How many Ferguson protestors did the government kill? Because I can think of a few dozen white protestors that they burned alive a few years back.
    1
  948. Tom jackson Well, I think the guys who own all the guns care quite a bit. Oh, and thanks for showing just how much of a racist piece of shit you are.

  951. Pagan Arabian عَـرَبيْ وَثَنِي You mean not burn shit and loot new Nikes? I don't think anyone would show up.
    1
  952. ilock345 Given the US government's history with conservative groups, being armed is common sense. After all, Waco and Ruby Ridge wen't that long ago.
    1
  953. Pagan Arabian عَـرَبيْ وَثَنِي "For no reason"? Really? He robbed a convenience store and tried to kill a cop. That's been proven beyond all doubt.

  955. Dreadwyn You do realize that "there, voting for the past" is a simple declarative statement? Right?
    1
  956. Dreadwyn Yeah... Grammar Nazis on teh Intertubes are always amusing.
    1
  957. ***** Yeah... Funny how his rights don't depend on your opinions. Fuck off.
    1
  958. Dreadwyn Clearly you don't understand "rights". Rights are not subject to regulation, legislation, registration or the democratic process.
    1
  959. ***** Yup... Here comes the Brussels Syndrome... "We got our asses kicked so now I'm going to act like a petulant child" Run to your safe space fucktard.
    1
  960. ***** That's some strong words for your sovereign... Does anybody else miss the days when the queen could just behead people? I miss the days when the queen could just behead people.
    1
  961. ***** ... and now we've graduated to threats of physical violence... Cute. Kiddo, I am a United States Marine and I carry at least one gun one me at all times. You wouldn't live past the first punch you threw. Best part, under the law where I live, the cops couldn't even arrest me.
    1
  962. ***** When we're the ones footing the bill for your national defense, it IS out business. Come back when the UK spends anywhere near the US and contributes meaningfully to NATO.
    1
  963. ***** Ok... You seem to be batshit insane... The UK would be speaking GERMAN if it wasn't for the US.
    1
  964. ***** Yeah... Bullshit. 70% of the Federal budget already goes to handouts to worthless sub-human scum.
    1
  965. ***** So your plan is to cut handouts and use the money for more handouts? How many jars of lead paint did you guzzle as a kid?
    1
  966. ***** Ok... Let me simple it up for you... Socialized medicine would easily double the US federal budget. Currently, 70% of the budget is spent on various handouts. So... Again... Which handouts do you want to cut in order to save money for more handouts?
    1
  967. ***** Oh, I don't know... Keeping us in a superior military position to nations who would wipe us off of the face of the map? But hey, we could always start charging the other members of NATO for the privilege of being protected by our military...

  971. Demian Rangel It's just a matter of scale. We have more than enough troops to secure a 2000 mile border. That's what drones and landmines are for.
    1
  972. Eusunt Dac Yeah... That's why the Korean DMZ is littered with them. In any case, being a superpower, we can withdraw from said convention at any time.
    1
  973. Eusunt Dac Yeah... Because US Combat Engineers totally aren't still trained to emplace landmines. What the fuck do you think Claymores are? We used them extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan. That treaty isn't worth the paper its printed on. You know how we're not "supposed" to use hollow-point ammunition? Well, go look at the mk262 ammo the Navy has been using for almost a decade.
    1
  974. Eusunt Dac You don't understand how treaties work, do you? Again... Go look up claymores and mk262. Both are in current use by the US military. We follow treaties when it's convenient. We cease to do so when it ceases to be convenient.
    1
  975. Ivan Bailon Yeah... Good luck with building a ten mile long tunnel under a minefield guarded by the US Army. It didn't work out so great for North Korea.
    1
  976. Jose Reta [CITATION NEEDED] Somehow I doubt that the cartels managed to pull off something North Korea couldn't. Oh and that's what we have a Navy and Air Force for. If the cartels don't knock it off, we'll nuke any city they operate out of. Call it collective responsibility.
    1
  977. Erick Cupul Do you even physics bro? Modern nukes don't LEAVE fallout.
    1
  978. Inbox Fuentes No, but lead will. We publicly impale any drug dealer or producer on live TV. Simple.
    1
  979. Inbox Fuentes Not really. It doesn't take a lot of effort to sharpen a five foot wooden pole. Mostly, I'll be focusing on the dealers. Their families can join them. The point is not to scare them. It's to exterminate them.
    1
  980. Inbox Fuentes Alcohol is far more popular than drugs. Also, we didn't impale bootleggers in public squares.
    1
  981. Inbox Fuentes Why not? It works.
    1
  982. Panda-kú.` ;____; Yeah... I'm sure the fact that hispanics have three times the rates of genetic diseases is totally unrelated.
    1
  983. Panda-kú.` ;____; Nope... Go look it up. Go look at the rates of diabetes (for example) south of the border.
    1
  984. JockeK He might as well be. Claiming he's some sort of "leader" of the "alt-right" is absurd.
    1
  985. ***** You don't understand how internet movements work, do you? There is no "leader" of the alt-right. Presenting him as one is tabloid journalism, at best.
    1
  986. Tortoise vs. Achilles They are inherently non hierarchical any hashtag movement is.

  987. Sligneris I draw a distinction between race and culture. So does most of the alt-right.

  988. Trev C Wow... A Godwin right out of the gate... Do you even internet bro?

  989. Tortoise vs. Achilles Adorable... you trot out the same trotskyist bullshit that's been debunked for over a century.
    1
  990. When you insult my intelligence, I insult you.
    1
  991. Rev. SockTrooper120 WAR GENERAL Yup, even the most argent communist is budget conscious. The irony does not escape me. We'll completely leave alone the fact that modern capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than at any point in human history. The rich may be richer, but so are the poor. Just look at cliff dive in famine rates.
    1
  992. Revolucion Social! Tell me all about how stupid it is to demand that people leave alone shit that doesn't belong to them? Go fuck yourself.
    1
  993. Revolucion Social! Doesn't your broke ass have a komsomol meeting to get to?
    1
  994. ***** Oh really? Is that why famine rates didn't start dropping until after WWII.

  995. KyuubiValkyurie [CITATION NEEDED] Please cite one high poverty urban area that has voted GOP in the past 20 years.

  996. Dylan Grey ... and I, in good conscience, could not take orders from someone (directly or indirectly) who spits on the CotUS. Funny how you CAN. That's the difference between combat arms and fucking FOBBITS. We have principles. ... and again. In the military, you don't HAVE 1st amendment rights. If I called Obama a cock-sucking commie while I was in uniform, I would be in the brig faster than you can turn your little swivel chair... and for good reason.
    1
  997. Dylan Grey Actually, ANY NCO of ANY branch can discipline an enlisted man of lower rank. It's not polite, and generally we take it through channels, but it's legal. (Normally, I'd have your PO or Chief bust your ass.) That's why I said... "if you were in my unit" Somehow I doubt a waste of space like you would have rank on me.
    1
  998. Theo McReich You do realize that the state can't give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take at gunpoint from someone else? Right? If you feel so strongly about helping others, donate to a charity that does so. Forcing others to donate to government charity at government gunpoint to make yourself feel better is basically armed robbery.
    1
  999. Tevo77777 Yes, and do you know what's CAUSING that negative population growth? Socialism.
    1
  1000. Tevo77777 Bullshit. Socialism promotes not having children because children are expensive and the government is supposed to take care of you in your old age. So you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
    1
  1001. Tevo77777 It's not a contradiction. As people become wealthier, leftists tend to need to import new welfare whores. (Except for their black vote plantation.) Wealthy people in socialist systems tend to have fewer kids as the benefits of having kids are far outweighed by the costs. (As I explained above.) Socialism is basically a three generation cultural suicide pact.
    1
  1002. Tevo77777 Simple, the main economic benefit of having kids is that they are around to take care of you in your old age. When socialism makes that care unnecessary, the upfront investment in having kids makes no economic sense. Worse, socialism requires taxes to be raised and thus reduces cash available to families that WOULD have been used to raise kids.
    1
  1003. Tevo77777 Except that for the middle class those benefits are irrelevant. The tax hikes necessary to support a welfare state far exceed the credits and the food money is a pittance when applied to the average household income. "The average cost of raising a child born in 2013 up until age 18 for a middle-income family in the U.S. is approximately $245,340 (or $304,480, adjusted for projected inflation), according to the latest annual “Cost of Raising A Child” report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Aug 18, 2014 Are you seriously going to tell me that the child will result in more than $300,000 of tax benefits over 18 years?
    1
  1004. Tevo77777 Actually, in the 50s and 60s the middle class had almost double the fertility rate of today. Funny how that exactly coincides with the rise of the welfare state and skyrocketing middle class income tax rates. I note how you've completely backed off the "kids are an economic benefit" argument.
    1
  1005. Tevo77777 You used your own experience as an argument. The debate was over at that point. Oh, and the taxes in the 1940s and 50s were far LOWER than today. Why? Because more than 50% of the population paid federal income taxes.
    1
  1006. "Just as accomplished"? Was that before or after she got disbarred?

  1008. $4000? These cunts can't even afford to plan a week long trip on a budget and they want to run the fucking country? Please bitch. I could go to the RNC for under $1k and live like a king.
    1
  1009. Jahidstein So... You're saying that the victims of Islam are Muslims? Gee... That's like saying the real victims of the SS were the Nazis...  ... oh, and not being able to keep your country in working order does not give you license to invade somebody else's. Every refugee or migrant who arrived illegally should be stood up against a wall and shot as an invader.
    1
  1010. Maliriqan Please tell me more about how the "west" destroyed their country before Assad started gassing his own people.
    1
  1011. Does it matter? If the Ukrainian government had sat down and accepted that the regions had a right to decide their own future none of this would be happening. They overthrew a government in Kiev, they vilified Yanukovich because he (allegedly) ordered the use of force against protestors. Then the go in and roll over regions who want to form their own government with tanks. How are they better than the scum they replaced? You didn't see Yanukovich ordering artillery strikes against the maidan.
    1
  1012. Shooting up Planned Parenthood is no more morally wrong than shooting up the guard barracks at a concentration camp.
    1
  1013. Roxy Roulette I'm sorry, my compassion is for the victims of these monsters. Just like the Nazis before them, the only job of any moral person is to arrange an express ticket for these fuckers to their just deserts.
    1
  1014. Eusunt Dac Actually, there were. The majority, however, were shipped to Syria. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/10/16/new-york-times-reports-wmd-found-in-iraq
    1
  1015. Eusunt Dac You thing the New York Times is shilling for the GOP? Really?
    1
  1016. Eusunt Dac Again... Funny how reports from major liberal news sources disagree with him. Oh, and I was IN Iraq fucktard. I was a 1371, (that's a combat engineer FYI) we were responsible for destroying Iraqi Army weapons caches. Trust me, there were plenty of chemical weapons there, they just weren't the nukes everyone was looking for,
    1
  1017. Eusunt Dac I'm just pointing out that the "no WMD" meme is just plain liberal propaganda bullshit. It's just as bullshit as the US having "lost" the Vietnam war. Interestingly, both wars ended the same way. The conservatives won the war, and the liberals managed to lose the peace. Iraq was in great shape following the troop surge at the end of Bush's second term. Then Obama announced that we were leaving and the local crazies took over.
    1
  1018. Eusunt Dac You do realize that not all WMD's are nuclear? Right? The ones he had in 2003 were chemical.
    1
  1019. Eusunt Dac IAEA does not look for chemical weapons fucktard. It's the International Atomic Energy Agency. They can only say that he didn't have nukes. Oh, and there were chemical weapons found in Iraq. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/12/03/world/middleeast/chemical-weapons-iraq-pentagon-secrets.html?_r=0
    1
  1020. Eusunt Dac So if they found the the rockets... where did they come from? Don't forget, Saddam was not supposed to have ANY chemical weapons.
    1

  1023. Derek X Again... Do you know what ISIS was called before they were ISIS?
    1
  1024. cinnireseisri Yeah... The 10 year old USMC NCO. Fucktard.
    1
  1025. rollingcan It's very simple. You stay the fuck out of business that's not yours.
    1
  1026. Apemanwithcalculator Yes... The "benefits" of holding a gun to the head of a person whose family worked harder than you and taking his money. Pardon me if I don't champion armed robbery by government fiat.
    1
  1027. PeanutButterJellyChickenTuna Sandwach Given that Marxism has killed more people in the 20th century than the Nazis? You tell me.
    1
  1028. Jacob Fry Yeah... Doesn't work that way actually. But hey, you can keep your collectivist commie bullshit. We'll stay with reality.
    1
  1029. Jacob Fry You do realize that the US trades with Asia across the Pacific? Right? A pacific 100% dominated by the Unites States Navy. A navy that outguns every other navy on the planet COMBINED.
    1
  1030. PeanutButterJellyChickenTuna Sandwach Blah blah blah... Here's the fun part. Your logic basically boils down to "we can't all be equally rich so let's be equally poor." The reality is that "cut throat" capitalism has done more to improve this problem than every communist or hippie drum circle put together.
    1
  1031. PeanutButterJellyChickenTuna Sandwach FUCKTARD. Let me simple it up for you. It is not a matter of scarcity. It's a matter of MOTIVATION. If I get the same money for sitting on my ass as being an industrial engineer, why the fuck would I want to work on being an industrial engineer? Communism has never worked because when everyone gets everything according to their needs, no one works according to their abilities.
    1
  1032. PeanutButterJellyChickenTuna Sandwach You're right. Democratic socialism results in genocide. Communism doesn't exist in the real world.
    1
  1033. Bigg Sapp You do remember who has the nukes and who actually has experience running death camps? Right?
    1
  1034. theylied1776 Yes... Your point?
    1
  1035. theylied1776 What they cited is not the sole cause. I hate to break it to you, but most confederated didn't give a shit about slavery.
    1
  1036. theylied1776 and every central power cited the assassination of Franz Ferdinand as the reason for WWI. Did that make it true?
    1
  1037. theylied1776 You need to brush up on your history. 
    1
  1038. +Cheedillow You know, except for the part where their leader was posturing and pretending to have an arsenal of WMDs... Here's a radical idea... If you don't want the shit blown out of you, don't try to bluff the guy who's holding a gun to your head.
    1
  1039. Cheedillow No, it's based on common fucking sense. We should have nuked them 'till they fucking glowed as an example to the next set of retards who decide it's a good idea to play a game of chicken with the US military.
    1
  1040. Cheedillow I wonder if you know what the fuck common sense is. We should have pulled a fucking Romanian special on those fuckers. Take every captured muslim fighter and impale them alive in downtown Baghdad. That would have made the fucking point.
    1
  1041. Darren Leavitt Please tell me where she got a $1000 flatscreen and who paid for it.
    1
  1042. MrDICKHEAD28 Tell me all about how the Soviet Union didn't have money.
    1
  1043. MrDICKHEAD28 Ah... The "no true scotsman" fallacy. Gotcha.
    1
  1044. MrDICKHEAD28 Yeah... I grew up under communism fucktard. I AM a primary source.
    1
  1045. MrDICKHEAD28 That's cute. I was born in Kiev, in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine and emigrated to the US after the iron curtain fell apart. Ya takze bolakayu na ukrainsoy movi.
    1
  1046. MrDICKHEAD28 So you have no idea what you're talking about you commie piece of shit.
    1
  1047. MrDICKHEAD28 Your point? I haven't been to Ukraine in over two decades.
    1
  1048. MrDICKHEAD28 Democracy is the deluded fantasy that 51% of the torch waving mob is right 100% of the time. I rather prefer a meritocratic oligarchy.
    1
  1049. MrDICKHEAD28 Yes fucktard. Some people actually ARE better than others. That's why we have things like physical fitness tests and IQ scores.
    1
  1050. MrDICKHEAD28 Ah... That's adorable. You think you know how IQs work... HINT: an IQ of 1 is mathematically impossible. There have never been that many people born in all of human history.
    1
  1051. MrDICKHEAD28 Awww... Now you're using the r word. I'm sorry fucktard, you do not have R world privileges.
    1
  1052. Infected Rain Funny how Trump is spending a fraction of what Clinton is on propaganda and is still kicking her ass. Oh. BTW... How did Hitlary's day at the FBI go?
    1
  1053. ***** The Trump won more votes in the GOP primaries than were cast TOTAL in the DNC primaries.
    1
  1054. ***** The minority numbers are pulled from democratic strongholds, that makes them irrelevant.
    1
  1055. ***** Yeah, but that's not the places that the left wing media poll. I bet you actually believed the polls that had the Brexit vote losing by double digits.
    1
  1056. ***** Again, without data on WHERE these samples are drawn from these surveys are irrelevant. The idea that blacks in Chicago vote the same way as blacks in Kentucky is fucking retarded. (Oh, and more than a bit racist.)
    1
  1057. ***** Yeah... and you can believe as much or as little of that bullshit as you want. Again. Polls showed Brexit losing. What actually happened?
    1
  1058. ***** Please let me know when statistical predictions became "facts"... President Romney would like to have a word about that.
    1
  1059. Havilah Gold I think it has to do with the fact that major publications more or less ran their material past DNC censors before publishing it.
    1
  1060. Havilah Gold I just find it ironic that it takes Bernie getting burned for people to realize the truth of what conservatives have been saying for decades.
    1
  1061. Y Xiao No, it's not. In a business you have a responsibility to your shareholders and other people your decision influences. That means that if the choice is to pay the extortion or tank your business, you pay the extortion. When you're the one extorting people, it's a different conversation.
    1
  1062. Y Xiao Yeah... Because if he refused to give "donations" to the DNC and then had his permits revoked, his projects harassed, and his people intimidated, that would have been MUCH better.
    1
  1063. Y Xiao Please let me know how real estate development in the US can be done by workers in China.
    1
  1064. Y Xiao Yeah... Please point me to a major clothing line NOT made in third world countries... I'll wait.
    1
  1065. Y Xiao I said MAJOR fucktard. The point of the matter is, Trump made his money in real estate development. Clinton made her money by selling out US interests to terrorists.
    1
  1066. Y Xiao Yeah... Because the FBI gets to determine what is and is not illegal. Black letter law fucktard. Read it.
    1
  1067. Laura Van Genechten No, no he's not. But please keep suborning treason.
    1
  1068. MikhailZavarov The first one took place when Vietnam was not a country. The third started a few years after the Paris Accords were signed, and the US withdrew their troops. If it wasn't for the Demokkkrat retards in Congress at the time, we would have come back and kicked the NVA's ass all over again.
    1
  1069. Erick V Oh really? How many Canadians were involved in bombing Syria? You have no idea what you're talking about. Canada doesn't have the equipment or bases.
    1
  1070. oodsong Actually, it is. It's just one that can't be prosecuted due to a bullshit SCotUS ruling that's about to be overturned. Thanks President Trump.
    1
  1071. MarshalofFrance Irrelevant. Killing children is abhorrent regardless of your beliefs, provided you're a decent human being.
    1
  1072. MarshalofFrance My beliefs are not the subject of discussion here.
    1
  1073. oodsong Yeah... Funny how women have managed to deliver babies with no major problems for millennia. I don't give a shit what they do with their bodies. What they do with their children's bodies, however, is a point of concern.
    1
  1074. MarshalofFrance By your logic, a sleeping person isn't human either. But in any case, nobody gives a shit what you think. We won and you can follow the law, or you can join the PP genocide squad up against the wall.
    1
  1075. oodsong Because the fetus didn't choose to be in that position. It's called being accountable for your choices.
    1
  1076. oodsong Holy shit #notanargument You CHOSE to have sex. You don't get to CHOOSE to kill another person because your decision is having inconvenient results for you.
    1
  1077. oodsong Because consent to sex IS consent to the probable outcomes. It's like saying that it's McDonalds' fault that you're a fat ass who scarfs down a half dozen burgers a day and then has a massive coronary. Don't want to be pregnant? Don't have sex.
    1
  1078. oodsong Well, by that logic, mass murder is a "entirely valid" way of dealing with political dissent.
    1
  1079. Cucks for Trump Only false if you get to decide who is and is not a person based on your own convenience. I seem to recall a time when the Democratic platform didn't recognize blacks as "people".
    1
  1080. oodsong Not really. You claim that children are "non-sapient" just because it is convenient for you. Higher brain function actually starts fairly early in the gestation period. Again... Typical Demokkkrat argument... The people we want to oppress aren't really people. You done polishing your jackboots yet?
    1
  1081. oodsong Yeah... Again... Keep believing that. I hate to break this to you, BUT IT IS NOT YOUR BODY. You don't own the child. I'm going to laugh my ass off when abortion providers start getting their much deserved Tabun showers. But please, keep picking a fight with the segment of the population that just outvoted you and has been stockpiling guns and ammunition for the past eight years. That's going to work out great for you.
    1
  1082. Cucks for Trump We don't care what you do with your bodies. The children's bodies, however, are a pressing concern.
    1
  1083. oodsong Not when it's going to get an innocent person killed you don't. In one example, we call that vehicular manslaughter.
    1
  1084. oodsong Actually, in a medical emergency, they can. Same way they can quarantine your ass if you're suspected of carrying a dangerous communicable disease. Oh, and we run the government now. Deal with it.
    1
  1085. oodsong You should look up the authority doctors have in life and death emergencies. Besides, the permanent loss of an organ is not a good comparison. Blood donations are a fairer parallel.
    1
  1086. Cucks for Trump Yeah... When you have the guns, who bats last is irrelevant.
    1
  1087. +Mohammed Said What "crimes"... It's a routine intelligence gathering operation. All perfectly valid under the laws and customs of war.
    1
  1088. Whatfor5 You're not very clear on what a straw man is? Are you?
    1
  1089. aluisious Yes... Extracting terrorists from countries shielding them is totally the same thing. Congratulations. Godwin's Law. Go fuck yourself.
    1
  1090. Tevo77777 Oh really? CITATION NEEDED
    1
  1091. Mocte Zuma Ok, how about the fact that no Christian who was alive for that is around to give their side of the story? ... and yes, temporal proximity matters. Killing somebody for god today != Killing somebody for god several centuries ago.
    1
  1092. Seekiu Wow... you fail history forever. The holodomor was almost a full decade before any major war in the region. It was a calculated method of eliminating land owning farmers in favor of socialist cooperatives.
    1
  1093. Mocte Zuma Ooops, you're a racist.
    1
  1094. Mocte Zuma [Claims not to be a racist] [proceeds to make gigantic racist generalization] Don't you have a cross burning to get to?
    1
  1095. Mocte Zuma Ok... Go tell that to the Chinese Youth League or the New Black Panther Party... You're the most adorably idiotic racists I've seen in quite a while.
    1
  1096. julian brown Please cite one bit of proof that Charleston or Planed Parenthood had any links to any organized group.
    1
  1097. julian brown Actually, you do. It's not my job to prove your argument. If you can't do so, then you're not worth my time.
    1
  1098. MR. BUTTINSKI No they gunned them down. If you wanted to start a civil war... Congratulations, you're well on your way. I don't think you'll like the results.
    1
  1099. MR. BUTTINSKI One "weak ass farmer" took out a federal building. What do you think tens of thousands can do?
    1
  1100. NYRalltheway14 No, they got shot. At least one of them is dead. Over a protest far less damaging than Ferguson or Baltimore. Where nobody got shot by the cops.
    1
  1101. james frazier Yeah, it is. Apparently, in order to not get shot by jackbooted government thugs in this country, you need to be a member of an "oppressed" group.
    1
  1102. NYRalltheway14 Liberty like shooting protesters who haven't hurt anyone or damaged any property? Go fuck yourself. BTW, you can't be racist against a religion.
    1
  1103. james frazier Observing the truth is not racist. How many protesters were shot in Baltimore? How many were shot in Oregon? Which ones were burning shit? What was the primary difference between them?
    1
  1104. MR. BUTTINSKI The have and always have had LESS power fucktard. Nobody in Baltimore was shot. This is after the murdered dozens of white people in Waco. You're a delusional racist. Just look at the replies when this started. When was it that we heard calls to drone Ferguson? Baltimore?
    1
  1105. storm trooper Ah dueling racists. Any chance I can get you guys to put on different colored hoods so that I can tell you apart?
    1
  1106. MR. BUTTINSKI Is that why you're a shrinking percentage of the population and make up half of the prisoners? Great job. The only things you're taking over are super-max exercise yards.
    1
  1107. MR. BUTTINSKI So you don't vote and don't get counted but you're "taking over" how? By making us laugh ourselves to death? Like I said, you're just a pallet swapped KKK.
    1
  1108. MR. BUTTINSKI That's cute you think you're running us out of jack shit. First you have learn to English bro.
    1
  1109. NYRalltheway14 He may be a racist, but those problems don't correlate with poverty rates. The biggest tell is criminality. Look at West Virginia. It is by far the whitest and poorest state in the country. It's also slightly below the national average in homicide rate. It's not a race issue. It's not a poverty issue. It's a being government pampered entitled pricks issue.
    1
  1110. NYRalltheway14 Ok... List of states in order of poverty. Note how West Virginia is number 2 from the bottom. http://blogs.voanews.com/all-about-america/2015/09/21/these-are-americas-richest-poorest-states/ List of state homicide rates. Note that West Virginia is middle of the pack. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-nationally-and-state#MRalpha Correlation does not equal causation, but lack of said correlation disproves it. In fact, look at Maryland, the richest state in the union and 5th from the top in homicide rates. We can also look at this by metro areas over 250,000 if you prefer.

  1111. NYRalltheway14 Except that if you plot the  data, actual correlation is less than 30%. Go ahead. Do an X-Y correlation plot for homicide rate versus poverty rank. It's almost a flat line.
    1
  1112. NYRalltheway14 Feel free. It's amazing what happens when you do math. The propaganda tends to fall away quickly. For extra fun, go see what percentage of income taxes are paid by certain segments of the population and compare it to the portion of the national wealth that they have. (Fun fact, the richer you are, the more you're ripped off.)

  1121. SwineNahNah The guards at Buchenwald were also "just following orders".
    1
  1122. SwineNahNah Actually, the Waffen SS divisions were generally far better operated than their Heer counterparts, especially later in the war where the Heer was relying heavily on second line conscripts while the SS could still rely on the cream of the crop of volunteers. There were only a few nominally Heer units that could compare with SS units. Grossdeutchland was one of these examples, but, for the most part, the SS actually DID earn their reputation as elite shock troops.
    1
  1123. SwineNahNah You seem to be reading different military historians than I am. Volunteers weren't just drawn from the population, they were also drawn from the regular Heer units.
    1
  1124. SwineNahNah It was a mixed bag. It made sure that even to the end of the war, the Germans still had a handful of extremely well equipped, well trained, and fanatical field units. Had they been used intelligently, they would have had a much more drastic impact. The old statement of "you can't stiffen a bucket of spit with a handful of buckshot" comes to mind. They basically pulled the buckshot out and put it in a sap.

    1
  1148. Yolo Swaggins #notanargument  The UN can't "adopt" a resolution in violation of its own charter. Self-determination is a fundamental human right. Until the Ukrainian government respects the rights of the people in Donbas, they are going to continue getting their teeth kicked in.
    1
  1149. Yolo Swaggins Don't give a shit. Only the security council has any actual authority.
    1
  1150. Yolo Swaggins No, what I said was that they had no authority to adopt that resolution. Whether they did or didn't is irrelevant.
    1
  1151. Yolo Swaggins Yeah... Let's see them enforce it.
    1
  1152. Yolo Swaggins How's that working out?
    1
  1153. JustAsPlanned1 The point is that the people who live and lived in Donbas were never Ukrainian. The traditional borders of Ukraine never included Donbas or the Crimean peninsula. They were only added to the borders of the Ukrainian Socialist Republic under the Soviet Union for administrative reasons in the 1960s. At the end of the day, self determination is a human right protected by the UN charter. Any attempt to circumvent those rights is a crime against humanity.
    1
  1154. JustAsPlanned1 They say they are and that's all it takes. Do you even English bro? The UN can go fuck itself. Ukraine is never getting that territory back.
    1
  1155. JustAsPlanned1 The public referendums held in the regions involved indicate otherwise. Public referendums witnessed by international observers.
    1
  1156. Yolo Swaggins The "majority of the world" includes countries like Iran, China, and North Korea. Nobody gives a shit what the UN thinks. If the Ukrainians think they are getting that land back, they are sorely mistaken.
    1
  1157. Yolo Swaggins You did notice that your fucking avatar is holding a hammer and sickle? Right comrade?
    1
  1158. tyskbulle Yeah... Nope. 1. There is no such thing as "international law' as there is no organization that has authority over nations. 2. Please cite that rule. The UN charter is very clear. Self-determination is a basic human right.
    1
  1159. Yolo Swaggins Yes... Technically, that is your right. Except for the little part of how your house is not a self sufficient nation. Now get your county to vote the same thing, and you will have a legal leg to stand on.
    1
  1160. Roman Dudar Russia was a bit busy at the time. They were putting down the Ukrainian threat to their naval bases in Crimea and enforcing the decision of the third referendum that the Crimean people have had in the past two decades declaring independence from Ukraine. I was born in Kiev fucktard. I have family on both sides of the question. The bottom line is that it is no more moral for Ukraine to march troops into Donbas than it was for Hitler to march into Austria.
    1
  1161. Yolo Swaggins Mixing terms now? There are clearly defined international standards for forming your own nation. Donbas meets them, your house does not.
    1
  1162. Yolo Swaggins You lost the argument when you started calling them terrorists. Unlike the Ukrainian armed forces, the Donbas separatists have taken no offensive action outside their territory.
    1
  1163. Yolo Swaggins MH17 was shot down by anti-air missiles. Ukraine had the same missiles and could have just as easily fired them. The point is that the airliner had no business operating over a combat zone. You can't walk onto a battlefield and then bitch when you get shot.
    1
  1164. Yolo Swaggins Yeah... The point is that the Ukrainian government put that plane in airspace where they had recently lost combat aircraft. That makes it their fault as they could have easily routed the plane around the disputed airspace. Instead, they sent in a civilian aircraft into the area so they could use its radar signature for cover to cary out military strikes against civilian targets.
    1
  1165. Yolo Swaggins Fucktard, every nation has the absolute authority to route air traffic through their airspace. The fact that the Ukrainians routed civilian aircraft through an area where they had lost military aircraft makes this 100% their fault.
    1

  1167. Yolo Swaggins The "majority of the developed world" is run by leftie statists who need to be stood up against a wall and shot. What's your point?

  1168. ***** Yeah... If that was true, Kiev would be under Russian occupation by now. If Putin wanted to, he could have rolled Ukraine in a long weekend. It would have been over before anybody could do jack shit about it.
    1
  1169. infiltr80r Ukraine had no functional military. The Russian military is one of the best on the planet. Do you even war bro?

    1
  1175. ***** Given that both wars were draws (at worst), they don't apply. 1919 got Russia Ukraine back and Afghanistan was no more a defeat than Vietnam was.

  1181. Noah Vthof Oh really? You mean the same EU that has virtually no modern armor or airpower?
    1
  1182. Noah Vthof 1. The tanks you listed are fielded in such pathetic numbers that their presence is irrelevant. For every Leopard II on the battlefield, the Russians will put up two dozen T-90s. The Germans also had the best tanks in WWII, but just like now, they simply didn't have enough of them. 2. No EU country will ever get the F-22. That's actually written into US law. I don't support Russia. It disappoints me about as much as the US does right now. I do, however, find EU posturing to be sad and pathetic. Especially since the EU militaries have been hiding behind the US for generations.
    1
  1183. Noah Vthof Actually, 1. The number of tanks that the EU can field is so low as to be essentially zero. Most EU members don't have ANY armor. 2. The T-90 is more than a match for the M1A2. It has better active defenses, more efficient armor, and a better gun. Since none of the European tanks are a match for the M1A2...
    1
  1184. peter w We're not talking about the US. I hate to break it to you, but the American tax payer is busy paying for your bullshit. Chances are, we're just going to sit back and let the Russians deal with your pansy asses. The entirety of the EU has less than 2000 tanks. (I would like to know where you got your 7k number from as less than 500 Challenger 2s were ever built.) Russia has over 2,000 T-90s in service. That does not count their massive stockpile of T-80s or T-70s which are easily a match for Leopard 2s or Leclercs as they lack the DU armor that the Challenger or Abrams use to compete with the active defenses of T-80s or T-90s.
    1
  1185. You would be wrong. The Germans and french don't even use current generation armor systems. Nor do they have the active defense systems of the T-90. Still want to hear where you got your "7000" number.
    1
  1186. Piekartz Actually, there are no such tanks produced by the EU. Nobody combines the main gun, DU matrix armor, and electronics support quite the way the M1A2 does. As I said earlier, if you don't have modern active defenses. (Retrofitted onto the vast majority of Russian T-70 series) or a DU matrix (Found only on the M1A2 and the Challenger 2), you're basically a sitting duck.
    1
  1187. Piekartz Cheaper is not better. There are many types of composite armor. If it doesn't use a DU matrix, it might as well be cardboard.
    1
  1188. Piekartz Composite armor, yes. Reactive armor, no.  The major advantage of a DU matrix is that it gives you multi-hit capability that reactive and traditional composite armor lacks. It is inarguably a far better armor system than reactive armor, but it comes at a rather severe production and weight cost.  The main Russian advantage is that even their modernized T-72s (Sorry, I got sloppy and was referring to the entire series by the name of a WWII tank.) have modern electronics and reactive armor systems. They are in every way competitive with a Leopard 2. (That lacks the DU matrix found in the M1A2 or the Challenger 2.) Don't forget, almost all of Russia's T-72s now have Kontakt-5 installed. That gives them the equivalent of almost three feet of armor protection against APFSDS and almost four against HEAT. That would make them comparable to even a Leopard 2A6. Sure, the Leopard is a much newer design with more bells and whistles, but the two tanks are well within shouting distance of each other. The T-80U is a better example of a direct match, while the T-90MS is an example of a superior tank.

  1214. Mr. Crouch Fucktard. If you have fuel grade uranium and a centrifuge you can MAKE weapons grade uranium. That's the fucking point. How are you going to stop them? Are we supposed to take their word for it? Because a month long inspection notification period makes catching weapons grade refining practically impossible.
    1
  1215. Mr. Crouch So... Again... How are we going to stop Iran from making a nuke if they have all the tools and we have to give them a month's notice before we inspect anything?

  1216. +Buggy The Clown Fucktard, they placed THEMSELVES in proximity to oil rigs. It's not the oil industry's problem that these clowns bought the neighboring property.
    1
  1217. ***** Sorry bro, but the government can't change laws retroactively. It's unconstitutional as fuck. Once the permit is granted, it is a legal contract. If legal contracts have no permanency than the government has no authority AT ALL. Why? Because it derives its authority from just such a contract. Thus, the oil company would be perfectly justified in just telling the government or any of its agents to fuck off. Then if they refuse to do so, using lethal force to make them fuck off.
    1
  1218. ***** The government has no authority over private property. You and commies like you can go fuck off to North Korea.
    1
  1219. ***** Eminent domain is unconstitutional. It's a gross violation of the 4th amendment.
    1
  1220. ***** Do you even constitution bro? The government has no authority not expressly granted by the CotUS.
    1
  1221. ***** I know what eminent domain is. I also know it's unconstitutional as fuck.
    1
  1222. ***** [CITATION NEEDED] I can cite two amendments that it violates. 5th "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." 4th "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated," Eminent domain does cannot grant "just compensation" by definition. In this case, "just compensation" would be the entire value of all the oil that could be produced by the well in question. Good luck with that.
    1
  1223. ***** So they are going to pay "fair market value" for an oil well? Do you know what that the value of a well is? It's measured in millions of dollars.
    1
  1224. ***** Except that you already granted a permit fucktard. That's a legally binding contract. You have no legal authority to rescind said permit unless the original terms have been violated.
    1
  1225. ***** Actually, yeah, yeah they are. It's called ex-post-facto. You can't create retroactive regulations that apply to existing permits. That's why those sites were grandfathered in in the first place fucktard.
    1
  1226. ***** Ah, refuge in absurdity... Going to have an argument that's not a logical fallacy?
    1
  1227. ***** Not really. No contract forces these retards to live next to an active oil well. The well was there first. That makes it not the oil company's problem.
    1
  1228. ***** So your logic is that the government fucking up is somehow the oil company's problem? You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about you commie sack of shit.
    1
  1229. ***** Yeah... Good luck with that. The mineral rights to that well are worth more than all surrounding property. It would be cheaper to move the retards who decided it was a good idea to shack up next to an oil field.
    1
  1230. ***** Do you even geology bro? The rig is there for a reason fucktard. ... and yes, fair market value includes mineral rights which would mean the production value of the oil for the lifetime of the well.
    1
  1231. ***** There is zero evidence that it's a health hazard. People work in close proximity to these things for years with no ill effects.

  1241. Seth9809 PTSD is the inevitable result of watering down our military training. Unfortunately, people who were not prepared for real world combat were sent into it. How many Spartans do you think suffered from PTSD? Roman legionaries? Was their combat any less brutal than modern warfare?
    1
  1242. Seth9809 That would be relevant if I used them as an example. Conscripts make pathetic soldiers. Again, my examples were Sparta and Rome.
    1
  1243. Seth9809 It's the warrior mentality. A Spartan was trained to be the most merciless killing machine of the Greek world. The Roman legionnaire was trained to be one of the hardiest soldiers in human history. (These guys were known for marching 40 miles per day with heavy loads while wearing SANDALS.) By comparison, modern recruits are coddled to absurdity. That means that they are mentally unprepared for combat. They simply aren't tough enough.

  1244. Naz123Gul Oh really? So the tons of chemical agents that Assad dropped on his people never existed? You know, the ones he got from Saddam in 2002.
    1
  1245. Naz123Gul He got them AFTER the US started the war train rolling. There was an 18 month period thanks to hippie fucktards like you that Saddam had no supervision as to what he did with the chemical weapons program. Just before the invasion in 2003, he transferred the weapons to his buddy Assad and "invited" inspectors back in. Not finding chemical weapons in Iraq is like not finding drugs at a drug dealer's house after you gave him 18 months warning of your "surprise" raid.
    1
  1246. Naz123Gul Because the American people are done with your liberal "regime building" bullshit. If this goes on for much longer, we'll just nuke the entire region and be done with it.
    1
  1247. Erik3E Do you know how Donbas and the Crimea became a part of Ukraine? Do you know when? It might surprise you.
    1
  1248. Erik3E So you claim that Ukraine has some right to territory that was handed to it by communist fiat less than 50 years ago and was, up until then, a part of Russia? More right to it than the people who actually live there?
    1
  1249. Erik3E Actually, smart one, it was a part of the Russian Empire starting in the 1700s and a part of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic afterwards. It's like if the US handed over a part of Texas to Arizona, then broke up into individual states only a few decades later. Does Texas no longer have a right to the land? What about the Texans who live there?
    1
  1250. Erik3E You might want to let Mexico know that we'll be returning most of the south west next week then. (or did you forget how we got Texas in the first place. Here's a hint: It's a lot like how Russia got Crimea.) But you didn't answer the key question. What about the people who live there? Don't they get a say in the matter?
    1
  1251. Erik3E You mean how there were no US troops in Texas during their war for independence? Also, please provide concrete proof that there is a single on-duty Russian regular in Donbas. I would LOVE to see that evidence that has apparently been hidden from the CIA and MI6.
    1
  1252. manjelos Except that that's not what the reports on the ground show. Show me one concrete piece of verified evidence of on-duty Russian regulars in Donbas... For a Russian spec-ops team, they seem awfully poorly equipped.
    1
  1253. Erik3E You do realize that Palestinians have more modern artillery than Grads? Right? Those things were obsolete before the Gulf War was a thing. They are a copy of a WWII design for crying out loud. Show me the night vision, suppressors, combat optics, UAVs, attack helicopters, etc... Hell, anything developed by the Soviet Union or Russia within the lifetime of most of the combatants. (let's say 1980 onwards to make things simple) The reality is that the war is being fought with what, in the US, would have been sold off as military surplus before most of the bleeding heart pussies supporting the Kiev Junta were born. Hell, they don't even have decent MANPADS or the Ukrainians would not dare bring out their own airpower. Don't forget that when Russia pushed back the Georgian invasion they rolled over their entire country in less than a week.
    1
  1254. manjelos Which of those did they have when they stormed their regional offices? Me thinks none. In fact, for the first few months they barely had small arms. In fact, it wasn't until Ukraine refused to negotiate and honor the local secession vote that things got out of hand. The Junta in Kiev brought this on themselves. I hope the rebels take the city and hang them all up by their genitals on the Khreshchatyk as an example to the next generation of corrupt toadies.
    1
  1255. Erik3E Yes... Because not supporting a tyrannical dictatorship in Kiev is totally the same thing as supporting another tyrannical dictatorship in Moscow. Grow up.
    1
  1256. +Comrade Horsefucker Yes, because they tried to do it by stealing western shit. How about you try again, without the blatant brigandry?
    1
  1257. William Garcia Basically, every time an "African" country has tried to organize a government, they tried to do so by nationalizing foreign assets in their territory. Not surprisingly, people who have a lot of money tend to react poorly to having their shit stolen.
    1
  1258. Comrade Horsefucker Yeah... Bullshit. Without Europeans none of that property would exist. A better analogy would be me renting an apartment from you and you claiming rights to my stuff when the lease is up.
    1
  1259. Comrade Horsefucker Because he stole their shit. The Africans should be on their knees thanking us for colonizing them. If we hadn't they would still be squatting in straw huts.
    1
  1260. Comrade Horsefucker You mean the same one that JUST had a military coup last week? Really?
    1
  1261. Petro Jenkins True, but some of us have societies that have moved past the entire "raiding hunter gatherer tribe" stage of development. We believe in little things like individual liberties and the rule of law.

  1262. Patrick Dow Gee... I seem to remember the Iraqis taking pot shots at US aircraft patrolling a UN designated no-fly zone and kicking out UN inspectors in direct violation to their treaty obligations. There's also the matter of two buildings missing from the Manhattan skyline.
    1
  1263. krnpowr Fuck off, you have no idea what you're talking about. The invasion of Iraq was perfectly legal under the terms of the 1991 post Gulf War treaty. There were no lies. The fact that hundreds of US troops were injured by chemical weapons in Iraq is proof positive that you're full of shit.

  1275. ***** Actually it's the textbook definition of a No True Scotsman fallacy. Me: The Soviet Union and Communist China are socialist countries. You: Well, they're not real socialists because socialists can't also be nationalistic. We are left with two possible outcomes. 1. There is no such thing as socialism because no possible political model would ever reach your standards of ideological purity. 2. The Soviet Union and Communist China ARE socialist countries and you have to own the fact that socialism was responsible for the largest cases of genocide in human history.
    1
  1276. ***** Yeah... So we should trust in an ideology that has resulted in mass genocides every time someone has tried to implement it? Yeah... Nope.

    1
  1286. ***** Bullshit. The "refuge" exists because the BLM strongarmed farms into selling the land to them by artificially lowering the property values. As for "over hunting"... You do realize that there are ten times more deer in the US today than in the 1700s? Right?
    1
  1287. ***** Really? Is that why nobody was ever convicted of poaching and why deer are practically an invasive species in the area? Go away little racist. You don't know shit about the case. Oh, and the difference between me and a SJW is that a SJW wants the government to force people to do shit at gunpoint. I want the government to leave people the fuck alone.
    1
  1288. ***** Yes fucktard. When deer, that have no natural predators, overpopulate an area, they become an invasive species by moving into habitats where they previously didn't exist. That's exactly what is happening to deer all over the fucking country.
    1
  1289. MsTokies Ok... You need to read up on where the land in that "nature preserve" came from and get the full story of what the BLM has been up to in Oregon. Basically, they have been doing everything they can to buy up all the ranches around the "preserve" by strong-arming the owners.
    1
  1290. MsTokies Fucktard, you do realize that they are not ALLOWED to buy the land? Right? Most ranchers would be more than happy to buy all the land they use, however, due to a eco-faggot putsch in the BLM ~50 years ago, they have a policy of not selling land. Oh and ranchers do not degrade the value of the land they use. Most of the time, they vastly increase it by providing improvements and management that the BLM refuses to.
    1
  1291. MsTokies Bullshit. There is more forest coverage in North America today than in 1700.

    1
  1296. MsTokies So sorry, I don't need a license to engage in private transactions. What part of "private business" do you not understand. No government has the authority to tell me what I can and cannot do with my property.

    1
  1312. ptegegn1 1. False. If they did they would not support the welfare state which only exists to provide an equality of outcomes. 2. There is a reason why those families are poor. Blood tells. There are exceptions and they filter their way up and down. Face it, rich families tend to be rich because they make better decisions than poor families. As for "underfunded" schools. The public elementary schools get more money per student in poor areas than in "rich" areas. Yet... The poor can't even be bothered to make their kids attend school regularly. (See Chicago as an outstanding example.) Coincidentally, most of this extra money doesn't go to the school, it goes to inflated teacher's salaries and pensions. 3. Except that when you are not paying for your degree, you are not motivated to make sure that you are actually learning anything. State control of education is absurd. The government has no place in any educational facility, much less a university. It is not part of a government's legitimate purpose. As for Scandinavian countries... There is a reason why they are the laughing stock of the western world. (Or do we need to talk about Sweeden?) As for your "wants" That is the definition of communism. There is a wonderful Japanese saying. "Those who don't work, don't eat." Oh, and progressive taxes are nothing more than highway robbery. Why should I pay more in taxes when I am getting the exact same (if not fewer) services? Why don't you move your ass to Russia? I hear they are all about communism over there.
    1
  1313. ptegegn1 I live in the US. Poverty here is a matter of choice, not circumstance. You CHOOSE to use drugs. You CHOOSE to skip school. You CHOOSE to get involved with gangs. Etc... There are no LEGAL barriers to people succeeding in the US. It's not easy, but it is possible. As I said, I spent most of my early life in a house without running water. Now I have a higher education, a good job, and a life I could only have dreamed of as a child. As for Norway... You do realize that the only reason why Russia hasn't gotten around to annexing you yet is because your entire national defense is provided by NATO? Right?
    1
  1314. +Chicago Biker POV Yeah... No. If it was actually war, the gangs would be wiped out in a few days. Those pussies barely know which end of the gun the bullets come out of. The way I see it, it's human trash killing other human trash. Good riddance.

Compare the workforce participation rate from the US, Mexico, and Sweden.

  1336. Ecléctico Iconoclasta Actually, Africa and South America are hardly capitalist. In the case of Africa, it's a straight up anarchy outside a tiny sliver of South Africa.  As for "gangs engaging in open warfare"... You have no idea what "open warfare" is. Note that New York and Los Angeles are in Socialist controlled parts of the country. New York City has an openly communist mayor. So your analogy fails again.

  1346. J Connally Not quite. Transportation costs are a bitch. Agriculture is deliberately drawn down by the government because otherwise, farms and ranches would flood the market with cheap food which would drive the welfare stock out of their ghettos. The artificially high cost of food is what keeps Democrats in power.
    1
  1347. neeneko Bullshit. The ranchers improved the property. In fact, both of the fires at issue INCREASED the value of the affected property by getting rid of scrub brush that is now replaced with grazeable grass. The federal government magically declared it "unsuitable for grazing" and therefore drove down the value. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
    1
  1348. Jim Todd That's the cool thing about owning your own business (like a ranch) you can go off and do something for a couple of months while your managers and hands take care of the details.

  1350. SS You're full of shit. 1. No poaching took place. The fire in 2001 was used to combat an invasive species, authorized by the BLM and burned less than 150 acres of "government" land. (Improving it's value according to the BLM assessment at the time.) 2. The 2006 fire burned less than an acre of government land. At worst, this is a civil issue, not the retarded terrorism charge brought by the jackbooted thugs in the BLM.
    1
  1351. SS That is the government's point of view. In reality, no conviction for poaching exist. Thus, no poaching took place. You've got the right handle you racist jackbooted piece of shit.

  1375. Yeah... Looks like the Ukrainian KGB is out in force. Last time I checked, freedom of speech and political organization was guaranteed by the UN charter. This scumbag is arresting political dissidents with no evidence of actual crimes. (Political support and speech are not crimes.) This is the exact sort of garbage that led to decades of bloodletting in Ireland and other civil wars. Great job Ukraine, you just got yourself your very own Himmler. It's not every day that you get to see the SS operate first hand. What would that scumbag have had the chief of police do? Order his police to open fire on civilians? Stop keeping law and order as best he could? The chief of police in this case did exactly the right thing. He serves the people. He does not serve any particular government. His job is to keep the peace, not put a boot on the throats of his neighbors.

  1377. g0lanu ... so you would deny those people the right to choose for themselves which system they want to live under? Last time I checked, a free country means you're free to tell people who you don't want there to get the hell out.
    1
  1378. g0lanu Bullshit. The matter of secession is entirely a LOCAL issue. Expecting the entirety of Ukraine to vote on secession is like giving a wife beating husband veto power over a divorce. Ukraine is violating international law quite a bit themselves. At the end of the day, all it would take is for Ukraine to acknowledge that a government that came into power by force has no standing to use force to force said government on the unwilling. A good solution would be an election overseen by Russian and US observers with a mandatory withdrawal of all Ukrainian troops and terrorist bands from the territory in question.
    1
  1379. g0lanu The UN charter says otherwise. Self determination is a basic human right. If Donbas wants to secede, the Ukrainian constitution is irrelevant under international law.
    1
  1380. g0lanu The local population. That's who. The terrorists in Kiev who stormed government buildings and murdered police officers should stay the hell out of something that's none of their business.
    1
  1381. g0lanu Yeah... Please let me know when Putin rolled his tanks in Kiev... I'd love to hear about it. 
    1
  1382. g0lanu Go get that history book you're always talking about. There were tanks rolling through Czechoslovakia in 1938. I'm still waiting on the example of Russian troops in Donbas. And the rebels are not the problem. They did exactly what the maidan assclowns did. Note how using military force against the latter is somehow abhorrent. But artillery strikes against the former are A-OK.
    1
  1383. g0lanu Interesting... Ask that from the maidan scumbags.
    1
  1384. g0lanu You're right, the Ukrainian nationalist Junta is fighting using Russian made equipment, fuel, and ammunition. What's your point?
    1
  1385. g0lanu All the heavy equipment is former Ukrainian issue. The small arms are easily acquired on the black market with (I'm sure) tacit consent from Russia. Again... Occam's Razor is rather simply applied in this case. If Putin really wanted Eastern Ukraine, he would roll in an armored division or twelve and the Ukrainian armed forces would turn tail and run like the cowardly bullies that they are. 
    1
  1386. g0lanu You mean the T-64s that have not been in Russian service for a generation? If a bunch of Durka Durkas in Afghanistan can maintain heavy equipment and fight US troops for over a decade, I think the DNR/LNR can manage a few months against the tyrannic incompetence that is the Ukrainian Junta.
    1
  1387. g0lanu Um... You do remember that the region had major military bases? 300-400 vehicles is barely a single full strength regiment worth of armor. 3-4 vehicles per platoon, 3-4 platoons per company (9-16 vehicles) 3-6 companies per battalion (27-96 vehicles) 3-5 battalions per regiment (81-480 vehicles) Are you seriously telling me that the Ukrainian military only had a single regiment stationed on the border? Or that those forces had no supply of spare parts handy? (for vehicles that are designed to require minimal maintenance) In reality, an armored infantry division can have well over two THOUSAND armored vehicles. 300-400 is a drop in the bucket against the sort of hardware that should be in-theater at the start of this stupidity. Given how closely American satellites are monitoring the border, I guarantee you that the US would be shouting it from the rooftops if Russia moved heavy vehicles into the region. (It's sort-of hard to hide an armored column.) As for the Afghans... You did notice how the Taliban had entire armored regiments in 2001 despite having no source of resupply or heavy equipment.
    1
  1388. g0lanu Um... I didn't learn this from books. I learned this in a place where it is actually TAUGHT. Fuel is not really an issue for that few armored vehicles. If the pipeline from Russia is still running, then they will have all sorts of petrochemicals. In any case, the local cars obviously still have fuel, why not a far smaller number of armored vehicles? Oh, and there ARE NOT 400 estimated tanks. If there were, the Ukrainian government would have been crushed by now.
    1
  1389. g0lanu Oh... How cute... You think that you have any clue as to my level of education. Nice racist joke there, by the way. Always a pleasure to see pro-nazi scumbags show their true colors. (BTW... I drink scotch. But then, I'm sure that you think that Johnny Black is the epitome of that particular drink.)
    1
  1390. g0lanu So the Ukrainian government hasn't run the country into the ground? It's not arresting political dissidents without warrant or executing them without trial?
    1
  1391. g0lanu This very series numbnuts. BTW, what you saw in that report is perfectly legal. No prisoners were harmed. Taking civilians into custody without warrant on the direct order of an MP without any other officials involved... Not so much.

  1404. Ahhh714 Do you not understand the difference between government power and private enterprise? Let me simple it up for you... If the government tells you that you can't vote because of X, that's unconstitutional. If an employer won't hire you because of X, that's called free enterprise. The point is to protect people from GOVERNMENT.
    1

  1410. Jay Draper Why should I? There are no premises needed other than basic logic. Either you are a sovereign state, or you're not. This sweetheart deal that the tribes have been getting for decades needs to stop. It's not the job of the American tax payer to subsidize a group of people who refuse to assimilate fully into American society.

  1417. Chris Lowther Really? Is that why the states with the loosest gun laws have the lowest homicide rates? (Case in Point: New Hampshire) Guns don't cause crime. They prevent it. Mostly be saving the people the cost of incarceration. Fun Fact: In Chicago most "victims" of "gun violence" have criminal records. In recent years, that majority rose to 80%. They way I see it, criminals shooting other criminals is a public service, not a problem. We just need to let the EMTs know the let them bleed out rather than waste good medicine on sub-human scum.
    1
  1418. Chris Lowther Anyone with hands could in, theory commit a crime... 99.99% of people don't. (Just as with guns.) The problem is that your "fair" punishments are letting human garbage back out onto the street. Then you blame incarceration for the problem. Here's an idea. If you can't be trusted with a gun, you can't be trusted to keep breathing. (Solves the cost issue as well, a bullet to the back of the head costs $0.25.)

  1420. Josh Schmude Actually, many European countries (like the UK) have more violent crime than we do. When you eliminate criminals killing criminals, even our homicide rate drops to irrelevance.

  1454. JewTube Or we can just use systems of government designed with human psychology in mind. A tightly limited Constitutional Republic is a good example. The government has just enough power to make it functional but not enough that they can abuse it. Unfortunately, that relies on people holding the government to the limits defined in said Constitution.

We're not even talking about the radioactive isotopes that come out when you burn coal. (For fun, take a geiger counter down wind of a coal plant.) The reality is that it's not hard to deal with nuclear waste. You just need a plan and stick to it. Putting it in a mountain in the middle of the desert is a great plan and would have worked, if it wasn't for the eco hippie retards. The reality is that they made the situation worse as all that nuclear waste now needs to be stored at dozens of separate (and far less secure) sites. Trinity Lo-Fi Official Fukushima was built before most of the people in this discussion were born. It was an example of what happens when you don't revamp your facilities to meet newer safety standards. A modern reactor facility would laugh at the sort of event that took down Fukushima (which was a once a century butterfly event in itself). Take cars for example, do you seriously think that cars are not safer today than in 1976? (When the Fukushima plant started construction.) Bottom line is that Fission is a proven and readily available source of stable and plentiful electricity. If we converted the US to the same nuclear infrastructure as France, we could effectively stop burning fossil fuels to generate electricity altogether.

    1
  1460. david smith Ah yes... A "moron" with two engineering degrees and a law degree. Unlike you, I understand basic thermodynamics. Fusion generates a pile of energy. That energy has to go somewhere. If it is not released as radiation, then it must be released as heat, but the problem is that it can't be as in order to generate heat, you have to generate radiation. Do you even Physics bro?

  1461. david smith oooh a degree in psychology... Wow... Next you'll be showing off your degree in Women's Studies. I spent five years as an Undergrad in a Tier 1 Engineering school working on two separate degrees. I have forgotten more about high energy physics than you know.

  1493. John Smith I'm saying that it's irrelevant because the needs of our society for oil far outweigh a few minor inconveniences. Climate change, real or imagined is a stupid reason to destroy our economy.
    1
  1494. John Smith Ok... You fail basic physics and economics forever. 1. The ozone layer is in better shape today than at any time in the past century. 2. UV radiation (which is the only thing that Ozone affects) does nothing for or against global warming. 3. The rest of the world pollutes far worse than we do. Look at China for an excellent example. About 70% of smog in LA comes from Chinese sources. 4. The "clean energy" you refer to does not exist. Solar panels are a good thing, but they don't provide the energy generation we require. There is no no physical way we can crack the supply problem without fission or fusion energy. Other "green" sources just don't generate the levels of power a modern society need. 5. What the hell do taxes have to do with anything? The way I see it, 80% of the federal budget serves no legitimate purpose. It's not the government's job to take care of anyone. Then again, I should expect as much from someone who has the picture of a racist mass murderer as their avatar.
    1
  1495. GiantGenesse Fucktard. Solyndra ring a bell? I have a degree in Aerospace engineering. The simple fact is that solar just does not provide the level of power that is necessary to run a 21st century society. It can't. The math just doesn't work. The Demokkkrats have caused far more market failures than they prevented. The housing bubble ring a bell? Guess who forced banks to lend money to unqualified applicants out of political correctness?

  1496. Edward Bernayse666 I have yet to see evidence that we have to do a damn thing. The occasional freak of nature is a bad reason to wreck a national economy.
    1
  1497. GiantGenesse The simple fact is that there is no agreement on the source of this climate change. The 93% stat that liberals keep throwing around is a work of fiction. If you write a grant proposal to study "global warming" do you honestly think that you'll publish results that show that "global warming" does not exist and threaten your chances to get another grant when your current one expires? Really? The reality is that the science on the matter is still very much up in the air. The economics of hippie anti-capitalism are rather obvious. The reality is that the US lost most of its manufacturing base because retarded hippies wanted to make the planet "greener" and instead forced companies to export manufacturing jobs and hurt our economies.

  1498. John Smith As I said, you fail basic physics. Ozone does nothing to protect against "Global Warming" it only blocks UV radiation which does not have thermal effects. I find it ironic that you accuse me of not knowing the science when you don't even understand how ozone works.
    1
  1499. John Smith UV rays have nothing to do with the discussion of climate change. Claiming otherwise proves that you are ignorant of the science. Fun fact, fossil fuels have nothing to do with ozone depletion. CO2 does not interact with ozone. Certain refrigerants and other chemicals caused ozone depletion, but that is a completely different issue. (One that has been solved as the Ozone layer is actually better off now than at any point after WWII.) http://www.weather.com/science/environment/news/ozone-hole-closing-nasa

  1500. GiantGenesse ... and here we go with the racist adhominems. Yup. Your argument is obviously so sound that it requires you to sling racial slurs to support it. Go fuck yourself.
    1
  1501. John Smith I'm not going to take lessons from someone who uses the portrait of a genocidal racist on the meaning of racial slurs. Oh and Hawking is a physicist, not a climatologist. I don't care about his opinion on this any more than I would care about his opinion on his favorite unicycle model.
    1
  1502. ... and retards blocked.

  1503. Erik3E Oh, that's rich. Death threats from "tolerant" liberals...
    1
  1504. Erik3E Somehow, I don't think that I'm the one who needs to worry. You support actions that would destroy the world economy and consign billions of people to starvation or slavery. Good job.
    1
  1505. DarkSideSixOfficial Yeah... Not genocide. Plenty of government officials all over the world shank their opposition. Just look at the CCP.
    1
  1506. DarkSideSixOfficial Well, you see the difference is that Bush was fighting terrorists while Obama is supporting them.
    1
  1507. DarkSideSixOfficial Yeah... And whose propaganda machine convinced them that it was a good idea? Do we need to discuss how Obama's brother is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and is currently under a terrorism indictment in Egypt?
    1
  1508. Connor Dunn Not to mention the distinct lack of the US Pacific Fleet with a half dozen carrier battlegroups just sitting there. Invading America through Siberia is about as easy as invading England through Norway.
    1
  1509. s0me1up Yes... Because the entire US Pacific fleet will just sit there with their thumbs up their asses. (Or did you forget that the US has a half dozen carrier strike groups in easy reach of the area?) Pro Tip: Invading Alaska across the Bering Strait is basically setting up target practice for the US Navy. You remember the US Navy? The guys who outgun the entire rest of the planet COMBINED 2:1?
    1
  1510. DarkSideSixOfficial Well, just like criminality, Durka Durka tends to run in families. So if one brother is an admitted durka durka while the other is doing things to make durka durka lives easier, it only stands to reason.
    1
  1511. +g03js9s9js9 It actually doesn't. If done right, you can drive a knife completely through your hand and not hit anything that important. (Ask me how I know.)
    1
  1512. +Imayewtree Except that Israel is the only country in the region with Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the legislature. I dare you to name one Muslim country with a prominent Christian or Jewish membership in the ruling body.

  1513. Barhuma The Barbarous So the Barbary Pirates didn't enslave Europeans? You do realize that the European slave trade pales in comparison to the Ottoman slave trade? Right? Oh, and the latter is still going on.
    1
  1514. billydakid601 Not really. I'd also point out that "white" people lifted good chunks of Africa out of abject poverty. I would also point out that the only country in Africa that isn't shit had white people in charge for centuries.
    1
  1515. RockyMt.Man Pretty much the only part of Africa that's not a rancid shithole.
    1
  1516. agua414 Yes... Because getting rid of Apartheid has totally not turned South Africa into a third world hellhole.
    1
  1517. agua414 They replaced one racist regime with another... You expect me to support that?
    1
  1518. agua414 The point is that the old regime was at least functional. This one is a complete sack of shit. It's basically the difference between the CCP and North Korea. Both suck, but one clearly sucks more.
    1
  1519. agua414 Well, Libya was a clear fuckup with no US interests involved. Saddam violated a peace treaty with the US. That makes how well his country "functioned" irrelevant. Once he kicked out the UN weapons inspectors, it was our job to reduce his country to a pile of rubble, because if we didn't, nobody would have reason to honor a treaty with the US again.
    1
  1520. agua414 I can agree that Libya was a cluster fuck of epic proportions. We had no national interest there. Iraq was a matter of proving that the US does not just ignore people who surrender and then violate peace treaties. It had jack shit to do with the "people" of Iraq. Quite frankly, their inability to get their shit together is not our problem.
    1
  1521. Ahhh714 ... and I will still laugh in your face because you have no authority to enforce your bullshit.
    1
  1522. Ahhh714 When the law of the land conflicts with the constitutional right to property, it has no standing.
    1
  1523. Ahhh714 It has no authority to make me hire or retain anyone. If such an authority exists, please cite the part of the Constitution that grants it. (If the CotUS does not explicitly grant such powers, then the 10th amendment applies and such powers do not exist.) As I said before, the Bill of Rights restricts GOVERNMENT acts, not private acts. For example, the government can't punish you for running your mouth. Your employer, however, CAN.
    1
  1524. Ahhh714 If that was a bad thing, please explain how China managed to lift 2/3 of their population out of poverty in the past 20 years. (Because you just described what happened in the Chinese marketplace.)
    1
  1525. Ahhh714 So the solution to crony capitalism caused by corrupt government is to give the government more power? Do you even logic bro? Do you think the government is going to become less corrupt when it has more power? How about we eliminate government corruption just by taking away any power in the government worth corrupting? That seems like a far more reliable idea.
    1
  1526. Ahhh714 Sorry bro, but you can't "do away" with the 1st amendment. A business owner has as much right to political speech as anyone else. But please, let me know how voting for "non corrupted" Demokkkrats is working out for you... Where do you think your presidential nominee is getting her money?
    1
  1527. Ahhh714 I don't give a shit what courts held. My rights are not subject to regulation, legislation, registration, or the democratic process.
    1
  1528. Ahhh714 What part of I don't care what a court says didn't you understand. In this country, the people are sovereign, not the government. Somebody who tries to ram their rulings down my throat will find themselves with a case of rapid onset lead poisoning.
    1
  1529. Ahhh714 Ah... The 92% myth.... Go fuck yourself. Oh, and the 10th amendment basically says that unless the Constitution EXPRESSLY grants the federal government a power, such a power does not exist. Please cite the portion of the CotUS that grants the federal government the authority to tell me who I can fire and for what reason.
    1
  1530. ***** Actually, the limit on military grade weapons is unconstitutional per US v Miller. Oh, and machine guns are not banned. They are just unconstitutionally restricted. If they had outright banned them, that law would have been struck down by now.
    1
  1531. Ahhh714 No, the SCotUS has struck down any and all bans on firearms that have ever been brought before them.
    1
  1532. Ahhh714 Nobody has ever proposed banning all muslims. Banning muslim immigration is not the same thing fucktard.
    1
  1533. Ahhh714 Again... Don't give a shit, but the law would be off the books. The two are not related.
    1
  1534. Ahhh714 Again... fucktard, nobody proposed banning all muslims. What was proposed was a ban on all muslim immigration, which is both constitutional and well within the authority of the President under existing law.
    1
  1535. Ahhh714 What "ties"? Are you talking about the bullshit "terror watch list"? If they have provable ties, make a case. US citizens have the unconditional right to keep and bear arms. End of fucking line.
    1
  1536. Ahhh714 Actually, no, no it doesn't. There is no 1st amendment protections to foreigners not physically in the country. Try again.
    1
  1537. Ahhh714 Sorry bro. Again. The Constitution does not apply outside the borders of the United States. We don't need a new law, existing statute allows the president to unilaterally deny entrance to any foreigners for any reason.

  1538. Ahhh714 [CITATION NEEDED] UCLA calls bullshit.

  1540. Tevo77777 Again... UCLA economists call bullshit.
    1
  1541. Ahhh714 Still waiting you to cite a source.
    1
  1542. Tevo77777 Actually, he did it so that his employees had time to go buy his products. It's not a complicated concept. Besides, half the Demokkkratic party was in bed with Hitler right until 1939 and most of them still hate jews today.
    1
  1543. Ahhh714 No. you're paraphrasing out of context. You do this to set up a contradiction that did not exist in the original argument. aka... Straw manning. Let's take your second example. "It's my right to discriminate Blacks/ Japanese just because of their complextion they were born into" Correct, I have a 1st amendment right to associate (or not) with whomever I choose without government compulsion one way or the other. "Japanese-Americans can't CHOOSE to not be Japanese-Americans [therfore it's wrong FOR THE GOVERNMENT to descriminate and segregate them]" See, no contradiction. One is the action of a private individual. The other is the action of a state entity. The former cannot be legitimately restrained in a free country, the other has to be for it to REMAIN a free country. Any other straw men you want me to set on fire for you?
    1
  1544. Ahhh714 Nice to see that you're the one dodging arguments again. The Constitutional argument is actually rather simple. I don't acknowledge the right of any court to restrict the plain wording of the CotUS. Even if I didn't, I use your own reliance on the Court's rulings, to point out that your argument doesn't hold water.
    1
  1545. Ahhh714 "The vast majority" BULLSHIT. I don't know a single gun owner that supports "universal" background checks. (and my gun club has 2000 members) Those studies have been demolished numerous times. The preface is irrelevant because the right is reserved for the people, not the militia. Just like the freedom of religion has nothing to do with the freedom of the press.
    1
  1546. Ahhh714 90% of Americans != 90% of gun owners. In any case, 90% of Americans also wanted slavery. The federal government has no constitutional authority to require background checks and the 2nd amendment prevents the states from requiring them. Like I said. I don't give a shit what voters think about my rights. Rights are not subject to regulation, registration, legislation, or the democratic process. I also reserve the right to shoot in the face anybody who attempts to force any of the above on my rights.
    1
  1547. Ahhh714 Thanks for keeping track of how often you make bullshit up. There is no way to conduct a poll of NRA members by anybody other than the NRA. The NRA does not release membership rolls therefore any study that claims to have surveyed NRA members is full of shit. Oh, when the NRA conducted the same polling, they got drastically different results. It's almost like they don't have a fucking agenda.
    1
  1548. Tevo77777 Ah yes... The pro-Obama or pro-Russian troll arguing for a minimized libertarian government. How logical.
    1
  1549. occupynewparadigm That has jack shit to do with "equality under the law". They are not subject to separate laws or harsher punishments than other citizens. They just happen to live in an area where the community cares more about protecting ganbangers and getting $400 backpacks for their kids than keeping their schools running.
    1
  1550. SleepyOwl 1. They pay taxes to their county, it is the county's responsibility to run the schools. It is not my responsibility to pay for their schools. The way I see it, public schooling is extortion from everyone who either doesn't have kids in school, or pays out of pocket to send their kids to a real school and not a socialist indoctrination camp. We should abolish the entire system. 2. Yeah... Poor community... Man up and shoot the fuckers. That's what the 2nd amendment is all about. I guarantee you that every ganbanger in that community is known to at least a dozen citizens. The fact that they would rather be victims than take responsibility for their own safety puts them beneath my contempt. 3. The point is that his parents magically find money to pay for retarded shit like that, but I guaran-fucking-tee you get more money in handouts than they pay in taxes.
    1
  1551. mistahshade They are not, next argument.
    1
  1552. occupynewparadigm 1. False. The state sets the standards, the funding is on a county by county or even city by city basis. In either case, it has nothing to do with equality under the law as that only applies to criminal and civil procedure, not handouts. 2. Yeah... Tolerant liberal there. "I've run my community into the ground with almost a century of Demokkkrat rule. Let's sue so that people who aren't retarded have to pay for my shit."
    1
  1553. occupynewparadigm No, I'm the one with the law degree... The'll get laughed out of court. I feel sorry for them because their attorney is a two bit hack.
    1
  1554. occupynewparadigm Actually, I'm a Marine. Big difference. ... and yes, the GI bill paid for my Law School nicely.
    1
  1555. occupynewparadigm Actually, it's Sergeant, but please, keep digging... You lefties are endlessly amusing.
    1
  1556. Summer TC Not really. It is his community's responsibility to provide an environment where he can lear. His community abdicated that responsibility by supporting ganbangers instead. It is not the responsibility of the rest of the state of Michigan to correct their mistakes.

  1561. IN GOD WE TRUST How about we send a few dozen FBI SWAT agents to VICE's HQ and arrest the lot of them for material support of terrorism and treason. Then have them hung from the front of the building? That work for you?

  1562. IN GOD WE TRUST Who gives a shit? The guy we just elected president. The difference is that we're in charge. You can do as you're told, or you can be lined up against a wall and shot. Your choice.
    1
  1563. IN GOD WE TRUST Yeah... Keep thinking a GOP president would ever be impeached by a GOP congress. They didn't have the balls to impeach Obama, Trump will be far harder. He could order Hillary shot on the White House lawn and you still wouldn't have the votes to impeach him.

  1568. +Pomagranate Pie Tell me more about how "the west" killed the Shah of Iran... That's a nice work of fiction you got there.
    1
  1569. +Nosnorb Repooc Unlike the Westboro Baptists, ISIS represents views supported by a large majority of all muslims. Not all muslims are fanatics, but those that don't actively fight the fanatics are basically supporting them.
    1
  1570. WestPlays That coup was to INSTALL the shah fucktard.
    1
  1571. LemuurTV Again... That would only be true if Westboro was a significant Christian sect. The core of Islam has included terrorism for centuries.
    1
  1572. Pomagranate Pie Yes I did. Kurds are a tiny minority in the Middle East where Jews, Christians, and Muslims all live under a secular government. The only other country in the region that's like that is Israel.

  1573. takerdust Riiiight... Bigoted much?
    1
  1574. OutOfCunTroll Funny how conservatives give more money to charities than liberals. Even at the lowest income bracket. The better analogy would be... A man is drowning in water 50 feet from the boat. A conservative throws him the 40 feet of rope he has and tells him to swim the rest of the way. A liberal holds a gun to his fellow passenger's heads and tells them to drop their belts to make a rope, while sitting on the 40' pile and using it as a stool. A regressive would ignore the drowning man claiming that he was a cis-gendered misogynist racist bigot and then scream at the rest of the boat to oppressing xer.

  1581. Maurice Vincelli Nope, I'm just a patent lawyer that does 99% of his work from a home office where I can endlessly mock you idiots.
    1
  1582. ***** That may be true, but it's not the place of a civilian court to judge legal military orders. We don't know enough about the circumstances involved to decide if it was poor decision making or a poor outcome of strategically necessary orders. No civilian court can possibly make a valid judgement. That's why military boards of inquiry and courts martial exist. They only people who can judge his decisions are his direct superiors and (if negligence is probable) his fellow officers empaneled in a court-martial.

  1583. Bumaye HGW Yeah... Nope. The Belgian Army is a fucking joke. The United States Marine Corps has MEUs bigger than the entire Belgian Army.

  1584. ***** You forgot Chiraq... Drew Gaughan You also forget that not all that long ago, Canada DID confiscate hundreds of thousands of legally acquired firearms after a simple government fiat made them illegal. You also forget that you have no constitutional protections for your freedom of speech, nor do you have a right to keep and bear arms. Given the population density difference between the US and Canada, comparing the two is disingenuous at best. In fact, if you compare Canada to areas of the US with comparable population densities (such as the state of Vermont) Canada does not come out ahead. In the US, we have these things called "rights". Things that the government has zero right or authority to infringe upon regardless of the baying of the mob.

  1597. ***** Why should we? They are making our cheap shit and paying for a chunk of our budget with their "loans".
    1
  1598. ***** Is that so? So why don't they have one? The reality is that they can't even build an aircraft carrier that works. They had to buy an old hulk from the Ukrainians. A hulk that they can't get to run and one that their planes still can't operate from.
    1
  1599. ***** It's only a "matter of time" until we invent fucking warp drive. The point is that if the Chinese could build a modern military they already would have. They have not, therefore they cannot.

    1
  1601. Vincent Deschenes You do realize that their "gold reserves" are a joke? Right? They are a pile of worthless slag when they have no way to spend them after we bomb them into the stone age because their military is already two decades behind the curve.
    1
  1602. Vincent Deschenes Yeah. No. Nothing we get from China is critical to our economy. It's just a little cheaper to make it there. China grossly overestimates just how much we need their cheap shit.
    1
  1603. ***** Funny how they were all made to US designs on US machines... Given that those machines are replaced every year anyway, it would be dead simple to just build the next generation of assembly line somewhere less hostile to the US.
    1
  1604. Vincent Deschenes Do you even English bro? It would not take years, it would take a few weeks. I hate to break it to you, but nothing America imports is critical to how our economy functions. That's why we have the most powerful economy on the planet.
    1
  1605. Vincent Deschenes Others, yes. The US, not so much.
    1
  1606. Vincent Deschenes What would happen? Somebody would make a killing setting up new e-waste recycling plants.
    1
  1607. Vincent Deschenes Very simple. What we get from China we can build ourselves or get elsewhere. What China gets from us they lack the ability to get anywhere else.

    1
  1611. Vincent Deschenes Um... Our military and nuclear arsenal. That's what. We outgun every other nation on earth combined.
    1
  1612. Vincent Deschenes It's called being an Empire. You give us free shit, or we nuke you into air pollution. China is already doing it with their "loans".
    1
  1613. Vincent Deschenes Yeah... Bullshit. What percentage of Chinese belong to this "middle class"?
    1
  1614. Vincent Deschenes Yeah... Keep thinking that... You'll note that Chinese militaries are moving to the US and adopting US citizenship. That's a good thing.
    1

  1630. Euro System Fucktard, LIBERTARIAN, NOT LIBERAL. There is no "left" or "right" wing. Political affiliation is a two axis coordinate system.
    1
  1631. John Meyer Not an argument. It's not the job of some random guy on the street to pay for shit you should be buying for yourself. If you believe otherwise, you're advocating armed robbery.
    1
  1632. John Meyer Not really. I just have a policy about shooting all commies.
    1
  1633. Euro System Yeah... Tell me more how a registered Democrat was a conservative. Every single mass shooter has been a liberal. Try again.
    1
  1634. Euro System 1. Example 1 is not a mass shooter. Try again. 2. Example 2 is waving the flag of the Demokkkratic party the seceded from the Union. Fail #2
    1
  1635. Euro System A true Democrat, so yes. You forget that Democrats founded the KKK and created the Confederate flag. You also conveniently forget that Nazism is a left wing statist ideology. It's in the fucking name National SOCIALIST German Workers Party.
    1
  1636. Euro System Right... Because their economic policies were just fine... What with seizing the property of the 1% (oops... I mean Jews) to prop up government owned businesses.
    1
  1637. Euro System Definitely a left wing thing to do. Go take a look at Stalin.
    1
  1638. Euro System Yup, the same left wing coin.
    1
  1639. Jamiethecommie Well aware. I'm actually rather libertarian in my stances. I just think that there is no practical difference between Nazis and other socialists. Why? Because all socialists eventually start genocides.
    1
  1640. Euro System Fun fact, I got a good chunk of my education in one of your socialist paradises. One of my degrees is in military history from Cambridge.
    1
  1641. Jamiethecommie Libertarian socialism is an oxymoron. It's like saying anarchist fascism.
    1
  1642. Euro System I said ONE OF. The others are in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, Applied Physics, (To be fair, the overlap in classes between for first four is ~80%) and a Law degree specializing in patent law.
    1
  1643. Euro System As for "liberal" socialism... Yeah... Tell that to the Soviet Union and China. "Liberal" socialism only works until your economy crashes because too many people are pretending to work and you have to pretend to pay them. Then it becomes National Socialism in short order.
    1
  1644. Euro System You mean the same nordic model that is causing their economy to go into the tank and making their streets unsafe to walk after dark?
    1
  1645. Euro System Sorry bro, but the socialists need the former to pay for the latter. When socialism kicks in people stop having kids and the population (and tax income) tanks after a generation or two.
    1
  1646. Euro System Oh it's not going to work, but they are claiming that immigration "helps" Sweden.
    1
  1647. Euro System Yup... Seden is feeling the Bern too.
    1
  1648. Euro System No, he just plans to import the same number of Mexicans and other illegals. Same difference.
    1
  1649. Euro System Yeah... Go down to South LA and say that again.
    1
  1650. mistakenyeti Me thinks it's a self correcting problem. They pull that shit here, they're going to get shot. A lot.
    1
  1651. 'cha boi No, he just dug up Lenin's embalmed corpse and used it as a sock puppet. Bernie supporters need to be dealt with the same way we always dealt with commie fucks. Up against a wall and a bullet to the back of the head.
    1
  1652. juste kevin Socialist policies don't work. This is the end result of people who vote for a living running out of people who work for a living.
    1
  1653. Jamiethecommie I don't think you understand what rights are. Socialism is an inherent violation of the rights of the hard working to give free shit to the lazy. It inherently violates human rights.
    1
  1654. juste kevin Oh that's rich. You mean the countries with absurd violent crime and suicide rates?
    1
  1655. juste kevin Yeah. Are there even 100,000 PEOPLE in Finland? How about we take a look at the Sweden?
    1
  1656. Jamiethecommie Yeah... You're just digging yourself deeper. Marxist socialism has been responsible for the worst cases of genocide in human history.
    1
  1657. juste kevin Ah... "Social Democracy"... now what other party in the 20th century ran on that platform? Oh, yes... I seem to remember Germany in the 1930s ringing a bell.
    1
  1658. Jamiethecommie I was born in the Soviet Union fucktard. I know enough about socialism to know that every single one of you fucks needs to be stood up against a wall and shot.
    1
  1659. Jamiethecommie What part of "stood up and shot" makes you think I give a shit about your political delusions?
    1
  1660. Devil's Advocado Aw... That's cute... The cunts that are supporting eugenics are talking about herds...
    1
  1661. John M If you want to throw yourself down the stairs rather than accept a little responsibility for your actions, I consider that a good thing. It means stupid cunts will be reproducing less due to stairway related fatalities going up.
    1
  1662. Honesthedgehog Life Yeah... funny how it worked great for centuries. It's called taking responsibility for your actions.
    1
  1663. Benjamin Krantz Yes, because before Roe v Wade abortionists were treated like the murderers they are and got locked up. It's not rocket science. By your logic it's ok to "abort" anybody up to age 4-5.
    1
  1664. Honesthedgehog Life Actually, family size was not much different pre Roe v Wade than it is today. There are plenty of forms of birth control that do not require you to murder children.
    1
  1665. Benjamin Krantz The way I see it, anybody who voluntarily kills their own kid should die on the table to save society a bullet.
    1
  1666. Tida Hardy Not so much. I care about the murder of children. If you don't, perhaps you shouldn't have children at all.
    1
  1667. +Edward Larsen Yes, yes they should. Why? Because you liberals were stupid enough to let those nut jobs OUT of jail. It's only fair that they gun down a few dozen of you to thin the herd a bit.
    1
  1668. Cecil The Lion The first amendment was also written when there was no TV or Internet... I suppose those don't count as speech then?
    1
  1669. ***** Yes fucktard and firearms are a type of arm. Arms refers to everything from pointy sticks to tactical nuclear weapons. If it is a type of arm that I can bear, it falls under the definition. Do you even English bitch?
    1
  1670. ***** Why? Somebody willing to set off a nuke and with the resources to get one is not going to be stopped by a law. In fact, it would be cheaper and more effective to whip yourself up a good old fashioned bio-weapon. Nukes are expensive and cost billions of dollars to make. Anthrax you can make in the average kitchen.
    1
  1671. ***** Nuclear technology will never be that accessible. It takes a lot of infrastructure to make nuclear material. Ask Iran. Biotechnology, however, IS that accessible and is still not an issue.
    1
  1672. ***** Physics. Uranium and Plutonium refining and synthesis is not physically possible to get around. You can 3D print a bomb if you have weapons grade Uranium and Plutonium. The hard part that is impossible to get around is getting that material.
    1
  1673. ***** Why? I could do that today with a tanker truck full of liquified natural gas and an abandoned office building. (One of those fun conversations you have in barracks bullshitting sessions at Combat Engineer MOS school.) The reality is that these things exist today and there is no real way to regulate them. Despite this, it is not an issue. Why? Because people who have the willingness to do these things aren't going to be stopped by a piece of paper saying that it's super illegal. Look at it another way. McVeigh built an IED that took down a large building out of fertilizer, diesel and a rental truck. No law on the planet could have stopped him.
    1
  1674. ***** Yeah... It's really not that hard. Anybody with a high school diploma can do it. I build my first IED in training before I turned 19. Thanks USMC. The information is easily available on the internet. Hell, you can buy binary explosives on the internet with absolutely no regulation. (Google Tannerite) 
    1
  1675. fomocore It's called projection. They are infantile retards with no control over their actions so they assume all others are like them. This allows them to avoid facing their basic inadequacies.
    1
  1676. Bladeofwar94 Yeah... and he still managed to do more to destroy this country's economy than any president since FDR (who singlehandedly extended the Great Depression for almost a decade).
    1
  1677. martin austin [CITATION NEEDED] Also, Trump's reforms would bring jobs back to the US so that you're not stuck flipping burgers for minimum wage.
    1
  1678. twinkacast It's not like somebody working for minimum wage is eligible for tens of thousands of dollars of handouts... Oh... Wait... They are.
    1
  1679. twinkacast Ok... Quit giving people "free" money and the drop in demand will drop prices. It's not rocket science.
    1
  1680. Floki Government can't give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from someone more deserving of it by threat of force.
    1
  1681. twinkacast Define "correctly" armed robbery by government fiat is still armed robbery.
    1
  1682. twinkacast The education level of our country would be better served by limiting the number of "african studies" or "women's studies" diplomas and cleaning up the gang problem so that inner city kids can go to their exorbitantly funded public schools. (FUN FACT: Chiraq gets more money per public school student than the overwhelming majority of the nation.)
    1
  1683. twinkacast The problem is not that too many people can't attend college. The problem is that too many people who attend college get useless degrees. Those people who are capable of being doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc generally find a way to pay for college. Making college cheaper will just get you more people with useless degrees. Do you know how long it took me to find a job as a patent attorney in the middle of the 2008 recession? Two weeks. Fun fact, that job had a six figure starting salary and fantastic benefits. Even basic mechanical engineering students are in extremely high demand. (I talk to industry guys every day who can't fill their vacancies because there's not enough qualified talent out there.) Those salaries start in the 60k range in the midwest and also come with amazing benefits packages. As for those who don't cut it in those sectors... College is not the answer. We need to bring back an emphasis on trade schools. Schools that are, by design, much more focused, cheaper, and faster than conventional college.
    1
  1684. +Dockery Yes... and which part of the American Revolution was fought to put back in place a fascist theocracy? Really? Terrorists are defined by their motives, rarely their actions. As for the revolutionary war... Do we want to talk about how the British massacred entire villages and refused to follow the laws and customs of war for any captured American troops? Me thinks a bit of reprisal is appropriate for people inside your own country who support a foreign government that regularly and deliberately murders entire villages full of women and children.
    1
  1685. cha0s50617 That was a war, not terrorism. Besides, a stone age culture that refuses to adapt has little excuse to bitch about their extinction. Their culture sucked. They got their asses kicked. Sucks to be them. Welcome to natural selection.
    1
  1686. Ksa Thug Well fuck you too. Note how you're not speaking German, Russia, or Japanese? You're welcome. Now sit down and shut up.
    1
  1687. Eason Chen The key difference is objectives, tactics, and intent. Go read a book libertard I recommend Von Clausewitz if you can be bothered to read big words.
    1
  1688. Eason Chen Like I said, adapt or die. They failed to adapt, so they died. Sucks to be them. Complaining that a stone age culture didn't make it into the 21st century is just plain retarded. Oh, and put away that race card. I don't give a shit. SJW arguments do not trump basic logic or history.
    1
  1689. cha0s50617 Oh... That's cute... You think China will make Mexico not a third world hellhole... Yeah... Good luck.
    1
  1690. Any Anon I suppose the American colonists would have gotten the same "better reaction" from the British parliament in 1776?
    1
  1691. ***** [CITATION NEEDED] Simon's reports at the time indicate the exact opposite.
    1
  1692. ***** That's about as retarded as claiming that the American Revolution was a French plot to stick it to England.
    1
  1693. ***** Again... You're claiming that the entire thing was a Russian plot. Given the popular support for the separatists, that is patently absurd.
    1
  1694. ***** You fail to understand that one man does not a revolution make.
    1
  1695. ***** ... and which one of us is actually FROM Ukraine? The simple fact is that no sinister cabal like you describe could create the incident if the underlying cause was not already there.
    1
  1696. hattar00 Is that why white populations are dropping like a rock world wide?
    1
  1697. hattar00 Yeah, ask any SJW, If I'm going to be lumped together with Germans, for their convenience, turnabout is fair game.
    1
  1698. hattar00 Again... Please explain why European populations are getting less and less European?
    1
  1699. hattar00 Stay on topic. Why is it that every white population group has a falling population?
    1
  1700. hattar00 The US census bureau and the UN disagrees with you. But please, keep deflecting rather than answering the fucking question.
    1
  1701. hattar00 Oh look, your bigotry is showing... I guarantee you that I've visited and lived in far more countries than your entire family put together.
    1
  1702. hattar00 Lack of brainwashing? Yes. Lack of education? I think not.
    1
  1703. hattar00 Yeah, I didn't get a degree in SJW bullshit. Engineering and law requires a bit more rounding than your "gender studies" degree.
    1
  1704. DarkSideSixOfficial Again... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE. Get it through your thick scull you cultist piece of shit.
    1
  1705. Generation Fallout Please assist humanity in going extinct by suck starting a Glock immediately.
    1
  1706. ***** ...and it still has fuckall to do with being in the armed forces.
    1
  1707. Zachary Harriott Fucktard. I joined the United States Marines back in 2002.
    1
  1708. Zachary Harriott Oh that's cute... Unlike you  I spent more of my time in the military deployed than I did stateside.
    1
  1709. +DarkSideSixOfficial Yeah... Notice how conservatives never resort to riots. How many CVS Pharmacies were looted over the Finnicum shooting?
    1
  1710. ThornInTheEye Yes, the firearms are what KEEPS it peaceful... on all sides. Your jackbooted thugs aren't all that willing to lob teargas at protesters ready to shoot back with live ammo. And yes, my wife and I sit down to breakfast with guns on our hips. Her with her service pistol, me with my CCW.
    1
  1711. ThornInTheEye Actually, it doesn't. There are plenty of industrialized countries with much higher homicide rates. [cough]RUSSIA[cough]Mexico[cough] The problem is that we have a welfare state subsidized criminal underclass and a failed state right across the border. 80% of all homicides in the US are drug related. 
    1
  1712. lolitabubbles26 If you don't like it, you can go work for a company that doesn't require that, or start your own. That's the fun part of a free market.
    1
  1713. ***** Yes fucktard, that's why we also have a free market of labor. If you don't like the way your employer treats you, go find another employer.
    1
  1714. ***** So you don't think happy employees are more productive? Are you fucking high? Why do you think Ford implemented a five day work week decades before it became law?
    1
  1715. ***** Please tell me more about how taking shit that doesn't belong to you is "justice"...
    1
  1716. ***** Gee... Because clearly THAT worked out so well in... Chine, Cambodia, The Soviet Union, etc... Face it, communists are the largest mass murderers in human history.
    1
  1717. ***** Yeah... Keep thinking that. We've kicked the shit out of you commie fucks before. We'll do it again.
    1
  1718. ***** Welcome to the 21st century. There is no such thing as the "bourgeoisie"... A bunch of rich people with no extra legal status do not qualify.
    1
  1719. Tevo77777 You men land that was taken by threat of force from the farmers in the first place?
    1
  1720. Tevo77777 The federal government is not allowed to own land in the Constitution fucktard. There are only a few very specific exceptions.
    1
  1721. SirVixIsVexed To be fair, the average liberal IQ hovers right around 85. Right in the golden zone for irrational bravado and a tendency towards violence.
    1
  1722. Tevo77777 No argument needed. There is a direct clause in the Constitution that contradicts your position. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of Particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--" Since the land was not purchased from the state with the consent of the relevant state legislature and was not used for the purposes listed, it belongs to the relevant state.
    1
  1723. Tevo77777 Not what the Constitution says. The land belongs to the United States, but that's not the same thing as belonging to the federal government. There are a few very specific ways for land to become federal property war and purchase from a foreign power are not among them.
    1
  1724. William Schutz Yeah, it is. It's about how you frame it. This is 100% racist anti-white hate speech.
    1
  1725. William Schutz So... again... please let the NAACP know that.
    1
  1726. ***** Wow... Put down the weed. It's affecting your basic math skills.
    1
  1727. Gabe bond Really? So the marchers who are on video shouting... "What do we want? Dead pigs!" were not a thing? Fuck off. BLM is a terrorist organization and most members deserve to be stood up against a wall and shot.
    1
  1728. The Last White Man Hey fucktard. What part of "nuke 'em 'till they glow, then shoot them in the dark" did you not understand. Blaming America for this shit is like blaming France for the rise of the Nazis.
    1
  1729. Edward Bernayse666 Why would it be stupid? It eliminates a clear and present threat  to the survival of western civilization. Islam needed to be wiped off the face of the Earth centuries ago.
    1
  1730. Edward Bernayse666 How many innocent Germans died in WWII? Dresden ring a bell? Was defeating the Nazis worth it? You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.
    1
  1731. Edward Bernayse666 Except for the fact that the Nazis didn't have justification, we do.
    1
  1732. Edward Bernayse666 So the Jews were behind socialism? Really? Again... The west has been at war with Islam for 1400 years. Peace and love is no a solution when the other side is determined to wipe out your way of life.
    1
  1733. ***** I think you're misspelling Austria.
    1
  1734. Edward Bernayse666 Um no. The Ottoman Empire was a muslim caliphate. Try again.
    1
  1735. Edward Bernayse666 Tell that to the Romanians. 
    1
  1736. Johnny Johnson Yes... Because the US government TOTALY gives a shit about some shithole in the middle of nowhere. Why is it that the Dominican Republic, on the other side of the same fucking island, has none of these problems?
    1
  1737. ***** It is the government's job to prevent unjustified initiation of force and to protect property rights. THAT IS IT.
    1
  1738. Johnny Johnson Yeah... Keep believing that. I was IN Haiti a few years back. Their only problem is an utter lack of will to do anything about their situation.
    1
  1739. Johnny Johnson I was making less than minimum wage given the hours worked. Or do you think USMC NCOs make piles of money?
    1
  1740. Johnny Johnson So what happened? It's not like the US is getting in there and telling them not do work.
    1
  1741. ***** Funny how we had all these things before massive government taxation. Don't forget that the 16th amendment was only passed around WWI. Did we not have roads before WWI? Sewers? Police? Firefighters? Oh, wait. All of those are LOCAL government programs that have nothing to do with federal taxes. Your 'muh ROADS! argument is absurd on its face.
    1
  1742. ***** Actually, no, no I don't. But your argument is a non-starter. What Haiti should do is what the US did in the 1800s. Get up and do some fucking work.
    1
  1743. ***** The video is not evidence enough?  Look at the state of the country. It blatantly shows that people just don't care. I mean seriously, how hard is it to pick up some litter? BTW... I was IN Haiti not that long ago. We were building basic infrastructure for them and all they did was sit on their asses.
    1
  1744. ***** Maybe instead of protesting they should do some fucking work? Rioters like these fuckers should be shot on sight.
    1
  1745. ***** Like I said fucktard. Litter. Litter everywhere. Go clean up your neighborhood, then come complain about shit needing to get done.
    1
  1746. Neworld 26 No, more or less you have to be stupid, uneducated and racist to BE a liberal. Why do you think we call them Demokkkrats in the US?
    1
  1747. Yes... Because the Venezuelans being incompetent commie fucks is totally our fault.
    1
  1748. Clearly, we need to cut our own carbon emissions to further subsidize China's destruction of the environment. Fuck the eco-hippies. Send them to the PRC and let them fix this shit first.
    1
  1749. elephant They would not exist as a country if we didn't allow it. Simple.
    1
  1750. A mensch Right... Saddam is still in power in Iraq, how could I have missed that? In the meantime, literally thousands of muslim invaders are landing on your shores unopposed.
    1
  1751. A mensch Really? There have been two attacks in the US in the past year. There fave been over a dozen in France alone.
    1
  1752. +gothicalpha We don't have to tell you squat. You demonstrate it quite ably. In any case... You do realize that the right to keep and bear arms belongs to the PEOPLE not the MILITIA? Right? Do you even English bro?
    1
  1753. gothicalpha Who's going to stop me? I'm the one with the gun. I remember a certain blonde haired bitch who though she could get away with that bullshit as well. She got Gendowned.
    1
  1754. Cynical Zombie Because he has previously tried to take our guns. Or did you forget the 2013 push for yet another "assault weapon" ban?
    1
  1755. Alex Except that this would require banning ALL semi-automatic weapons as all of them have approximately the same rate of fire. Magazine bans are equally retarded as all a person needs to get around them is parts from a "legal" magazine, a spring, and cheap 3D printer. If we eliminate those two things, then there is nothing left to discuss.
    1
  1756. Cordell S60R Quite familiar with that abomination. Fortunately, it has no chance in hell of passing. It doesn't even have a grandfather clause for existing weapons which means confiscation on threat of a federal possession felony.
    1
  1757. Cynical Zombie Fucktard, that's the 1994 bill. The 2013 bill that Obama bitched about failing had no such provision. That's confiscation.
    1
  1758. Cynical Zombie As I said, Diane Feinstein's amendment to the Gun Control Act of 2013.
    1
  1759. Cynical Zombie Same damn thing and you damn well know it. Show me the grandfather clause in the bill or shut the fuck up.
    1
  1760. Aesop Mädness Really? You're going to go by the guys that counted an airsoft gun incident as a "mass shooting"? How about we just go with the FBI data standard?
    1
  1761. Collin Hennessy Um... are you high? You have the right to defend yourself against any violent felony with lethal force anywhere in the country. A snatch and grab IS a violent felony because it involves an assault. I can't see a way that someone can steal anything from you without breaking into your home or assaulting you first.
    1
  1762. Collin Hennessy Yes, and you can use lethal force in the defense of others from a violent crime. It's not rocket science. Let's take the example of Illinois. (one of the most anti-gun states in the union) In Illinois you can use lethal force in the defense of yourself or others from any violent felony. Such circumstances grant you complete criminal and civil immunity from prosecution provided you can prove that a violent felony did or was about to take place.
    1
  1763. Collin Hennessy It is if you're in a position to stop it. Give me one example where a theft could not legaly escalate to lethal force. Don't forget that you have the right to use non-lethal force to stop almost ANY crime.
    1
  1764. Joseph R. Moore How does 500,000 defensive gun uses per year (according to the CDC) work for you?
    1
  1765. Joseph R. Moore Sure... Original study http://www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/1 Article summarizing the results. http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/15941-cdc-study-ordered-by-obama-contradicts-white-house-anti-gun-narrative
    1
  1766. Daygoboy Louis Actually, Fascism is a moderately left wing authoritarian ideology. The political spectrum has two axis. X axis is economics, where fascists are moderate left due to their socialist programs. Y axis is authoritarianism where fascists are at the top.
    1
  1767. Daygoboy Louis What part of "two axis spectrum" don't you understand? Fascism has been middle left authoritarianism due to their economics. Communism has been far left for the same reason. Neither of these groups is remotely "right wing". http://humanknowledge.net/PoliticalSpace.jpg
    1
  1768. Daygoboy Louis Yeah... Nope. Fascism has nothing to do with conservatism. Try again.
    1
  1769. ***** You just described leftism in a single post. Socialism is inherently unsustainable because people don't generally want to work if you're just going to give them free shit.
    1
  1770. kuuma sutra Those who don't work, don't eat. It's not my job to feed your lazy ass. You are free to work, or you are free to starve in the gutter like the worthless parasite you are. Taxes are basically armed robbery. The government has no constitutional authority to take private property without just compensation.
    1
  1771. ***** Yeah... Marijuana is a drug. Calling it a "medicinal herb" doesn't make it one. Oh, and stoners don't run successful businesses. I know that from personal experience. Oh, and I don't need you to rent me anything. 1. I own a house that's probably larger than any of your fictional roach motels. 2. I wouldn't be caught dead in New York.
    1
  1772. ***** Or people who worked their way up from being a dirt poor immigrant who came here as a kid after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
    1
  1773. ***** Yeah, the country I was born in doesn't exist anymore. The point of the matter is that I am more of an American citizen than 90% of people born here. I served in the United States Marine corps. I have never taken a DIME in handouts. So go fuck yourself you stoner sack of shit.
    1
  1774. tobysoter Fuck off.
    1
  1775. ***** Oh really? We won Korea, we won Vietnam, we won Gulf War I, we won the Afghan War, etc... Oh, and the first mainland country to lose to an island was France fucktard. When they lost the the wars agains England.
    1
  1776. tobysoter Come give it a try. I'd be more than happy to add a little chlorine to the gene pool.
    1
  1777. ***** Yeah... Good try... The point of Korea was to stop the North Korean invasion. Mission accomplished. Vietnam was ended with the Paris Accords when the NVA surrendered. You have no fucking idea what the military is like.
    1
  1778. ***** Wow... Clearly you don't even know what the Korean was was about... Fuck off injun and get your ass some fire water.
    1
  1779. ***** You do realize that South Korea spends more money on their military than the entirety of the North Korean GDP? Right? The commies would get their teeth kicked in and they know it.
    1
  1780. Bruno Cesar VS China is a paper tiger. Their soldiers are too fat to even fit in their tanks. ... and if you think that Japan and the US will allow China to get involved, you're high.
    1
  1781. Bruno Cesar VS Yeah... I have forgotten more about military operations than you know. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
    1
  1782. Yo Bo Fucktard, wealth is not a fixed quantity. People create wealth every day. Just because some people are better at it than others doesn't give you the moral authority to take their shit.
    1
  1783. So... They have a decent concept and rather than fix issues with execution they throw out the concept? Really? It's a simple two step process. 1. Amend the statute so that it can't be used on minor offenses. 2. Improve the parole board process. Problem solved and high recidivism rate criminals are still in prison.
    1
  1784. ***** Yeah, because I'm sure that all those Syrians sitting in those camps are members of the Christian minority the rest of the country has been trying to wipe out for years.
    1
  1785. mubarak Al-nuaimi It's only racial profiling if the area they came from was not damn near 100% muslim.
    1
  1786. MegaBlueFang You need an upgrade bro... I've got a SLR-107 SBR waiting in tax stamp jail.
    1
  1787. ***** It's their choice and not my problem. When they choose poorly and decide to murder children for convenience, then it becomes my problem. What's so hard about not having kids before you can afford them? Europeans have been doing this for centuries. It's how we got to the top of the planetary food chain.
    1
  1788. Ike Haze Yeah... Tell me all about how the Europeans were able to do that if we weren't inherently superior.
    1
  1789. Beeftoven 24 If European culture is so inferior,why is it dominating the planet? You can't argue with success. Fun fact, the biggest predictor for success in a third world economy is which particular European culture they were colonized by.
    1
  1790. Beeftoven 24 You're the racist here fucktard. Again, you can't argue with centuries of success.
    1
  1791. Beeftoven 24 Yeah... Fun fact, there were plenty of non-Europeans who tried the entire "take over the world" thing. They failed. Maybe it's because the inherent rationality of our culture that we didn't get our asses kicked like the Mongols or the Imperial Japanese?
    1
  1792. Ike Haze Is that why the entire planet more or less speaks English?
    1
  1793. Beeftoven 24 Again... Why does the entire planet speak English? 
    1
  1794. Beeftoven 24 Funny how I never had a problem anywhere in Europe explaining myself in English. Hell, I barely had a problem in JAPAN.
    1
  1795. Adam Savage Again... The only reason Syria matters at all is because brain-dead liberal keep letting "refugees" in from a country that they are at war with.
    1
  1796. Adam Savage I don't CARE. The point is that you shouldn't let ANYONE in from a country you are at war with. I don't like FDR, but at least he locked up the Japanese when we were at war with Japan.
    1
  1797. riku marcelin Yeah... No difference. Pretending otherwise is just pandering to ignorance.
    1
  1798. Tina Hunt Yeah... We actually DID that fucktard. It sucked, but that way we were certain we weren't letting in a boat-full of Nazi spies. But hey... If you want to roll the dice... You pay for it an house these a "poor refugee" in your home. Oh, and you are criminally liable for anything he does. Deal?
    1
  1799. Tina Hunt Please cite a single example of Taharush in the US in the past 20 years. I'll wait.
    1
  1800. Tina Hunt You change the subject. There is nothing even remotely approaching Taharush in the US. The organized mass rape of women simply doesn't happen here.
    1
  1801. Tina Hunt Again... Go look up the difference between rape and Taharush. Better yet, compare rape stats in the US to Europe. (You'll find that rape is far rarer here than in your neck of the woods.) But please tell me more about how importing muslims hasn't lead to major issues in Europe. I'd love to hear another liberal in blatant denial.
    1
  1802. Oh look, it's Trotsky 2.0... I wonder who's going to ram the icepick into his head this time?
    1
  1803. So... What's wrong with precious metal currency again?
    1
  1804. ***** Good luck with that. The whole point of precious metal currency is that the materials in it cost as much as the face value of the currency.
    1
  1805. ***** Right... Because the fact that gold has a very specific density that's easy as hell to check is completely irrelevant. There's a reason why people used gold as currency for thousands of years. (Also a good reason why counterfeiters were given brutal and immediate executions.)
    1
  1806. ***** Pretty sure that we can agree that the problem was with the crime, not the punishment.
    1
  1807. +최재혁 Not enough.
    1
  1808. +Necron ResistanceLord Actually, fewer people died in mass shootings in the US in 2015 than in France.
    1
  1809. Mr. Putler Gollum Yes... Because the fact that Iraq had threatened to use chemical weapons on the US is TOTALY not a reason to nuke the shit out of them. Oh, and take your 9/11 conspiracy bullshit elsewhere you commie piece of shit.
    1
  1810. Mr. Putler Gollum You've heard of shipping containers? Right? You don't need a bomber to deliver weapons. Just a truck and somebody crazy enough to pull the switch.
    1
  1811. Mr. Putler Gollum Because those same people were EXILED from Saudi Arabia. Where they were actually from was Afghanistan. That's like claiming that Austria was responsible for WWII because Hitler happened to be born there.
    1
  1812. Mr. Putler Gollum Yeah, and then he got exiled and declared a fatwa against his own people.
    1
  1813. Mr. Putler Gollum Yeah... As long as they act cool, we won't have a problem. The reality is that is that when they don't we'll nuke them 'till they glow then shoot them in the dark.
    1
  1814. Mr. Putler Gollum Yes... What has the US done "to the world"? Protected you from Nazism? Check. Protected you from Communism? Check. Gave back the land we fought for? Check. Just consider yourself lucky that the US didn't decide to keep all the land in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. If we had, the sun would never set on the American Empire.
    1
  1815. Mr. Putler Gollum I've got a DD-214 that says otherwise.
    1
  1816. Mr. Putler Gollum Yeah... MCMAP Blackbelt Instructor. Try again. Most combat arms Marines would take you apart like a soggy pretzel.
    1
  1817. kevindt100 Do you even English bro? Well, no matter, Arabic will be your native language soon enough.
    1
  1818. Mr. Putler Gollum Um... We WON Vietnam. The NVA surrendered at the Paris accords.
    1
  1819. Mr. Putler Gollum You mean AFTER the NVA violated a peace treaty that they signed? Yeah that happens. That's why we learned and invaded Iraq when they violated their treaty on 2003.
    1
  1820. Mr. Putler Gollum Actually, the NVA asked for peace negotiations.
    1
  1821. Chad Williams Or until we get done killing all those fuckers and let the sane people in the region live in peace.
    1
  1822. Chad Williams At this point? I say build a wall around the middle east and don't let anyone in or out for a few centuries. Either than or nuke'em 'till they glow then shoot them in the dark.
    1
  1823. Chad Williams That's the benefit of being a permanent member of the security council. We get to tell the UN to go fuck themselves if they don't like it.
    1
  1824. Chad Williams Yes... Please tell me all about the cities the Americans burned to the ground lately rather than pay to have rebuilt out of our tax dollars. I notice you don't bitch so much when we send you aid dollars. Perhaps we should stop doing that? I'll make you a deal. Next country we invade, we won't stick around for a decade and help them rebuild. We'll just level the place, nail every other male to a cross, and leave the remainder to pick up the pieces.
    1
  1825. Chad Williams I think you've got the tin foil wrapped a bit tight. We went to war because we had intelligence that Saddam had a chemical weapons program. Saddam could have stopped it, but he was retarded enough to call our bluff. Fun fact, when it comes to national security, conservatives don't bluff. Same reason why the Iran hostage crisis ended the day after Reagan came into office.
    1
  1826. Chad Williams No, we had bad intel. That tends to happen. Saddam had a chance to clear everything up. Instead, he kicked out the UN inspectors and called our bluff. He found out that the United States does not bluff.
    1
  1827. Chad Williams Would you prefer that he was right and we did nothing? How many poison gas attacks on the US and our allies are you prepared to risk at the hands of a mass murdering maniac?
    1
  1828. Chad Williams So... again... You want to roll the dice and expect perfect intel? I hate to break it to you, but perfect intel is impossible. You take your best guess... Risking somebody who clearly has no interests in negotiating getting their hands on nerve gas is a BAD OPTION.
    1
  1829. Chad Williams Because the hippies in the Demokkkratic party would never let us do the job right. (That and we don't want a land war with China... again.)
    1
  1830. ChronicLogic ... and stay the fuck out.
    1
  1831. Chad Williams The wars were actually more or less revenue neutral. Go read a CBO report once in a while.
    1
  1832. Chad Williams That's the idea. We get to dictate to the rest of the world. As for "borrowed" money... You do realize that governments and people are different? Right? Who has the power to MAKE the US government pays them jack shit? Not China, that's for sure.
    1
  1833. Chad Williams So move your commie ass over to china. It will let us deal with multiple problems with a single nuclear strike.
    1
  1834. Chad Williams Actually, I'm from the soviet union fucktard. The difference between these animals and me is that I obey the LAW.
    1
  1835. Chad Williams Please tell me all about how those refugee camps in Turkey are being "bombed every day"... Not to mention the fact that the majority of the people in the video openly admit not being from Syria. In any case... Not our problem.
    1
  1836. Chad Williams Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Oh, and I don't carry a "six shooter" I've got the same gun that lived on my hip in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    1
  1837. Jesse Davis We say the same thing about Obam'tards. Fun Fact. Trump will be the next president. Clinton is going to jail. Have fun you left wing commie piece of shit. We'll be coming for you soon enough.
    1
  1838. KeaD15 Hawaiian Gamer Really? Is that why conservatives never disrupt liberal events but the opposite always happens? Like kind of how they shut down Trump's rally in Chicago with their little riot? Thanks for handing us the election fucktard.
    1
  1839. Jesse Davis Son, Clinton's IT guy is already testifying in front of a Grand Jury under a grant of immunity. Oh, and Trump just got a major PR boost from terrorists disrupting his rally and trying to start a riot. Thanks for handing us the election fucktard.
    1
  1840. Grinda Mcblasty Yes... The Ukrainians in Kiev were also terrorists. That makes their coup against a lawfully elected president illegitimate. That's one of the reasons why I support the East Ukraine independence movement and the Crimean secession. What's your point?
    1
  1841. chiraqstreetz chiraqstreetz We certainly can. We just didn't feel like shooting the lot of you. I know for a fact most people at that rally were armed.
    1
  1842. JerehmiaBoaz Yeah... I was at the last one. Concealed means concealed.
    1
  1843. Grinda Mcblasty Did you check how much he spent thus far? The campaign doesn't have enough money in the bank to pay him unless he wins the primaries and starts getting major donations. The loan is common sense. If he loses and still has cash, he's less in the hole than he otherwise would have been. Right now, Trump is 70% self funded. No other candidate even comes close. Hell, some other candidates have taken that percentage of their war chests from special interest groups. (Like Hitlary.)
    1
  1844. Grinda Mcblasty ... fucktard... You do realize that ANY Republican is better than ANY Demokkkrat? Right?  But it's ok, Trump is not a politician. The fact that both the establishment left and establishment right are scared shitless of him should tell you everything you need to know.
    1
  1845. Karma Inevitable Or he will charge Mexico. You know, like his proposal outlines. If they don't like it, we'll send the Marines to collect.
    1
  1846. rincon Arias ... and yet they are getting them. Why? Because they can just squat out a kid and get all the benefits. Or claim that their kid was squatted out on this side of the border with a fake birth certificate.
    1
  1847. Grinda Mcblasty ... and yet the only candidate running on the ACTUAL Nazi platform if your hero Bernie sanders. Don't believe me? Just take any of his speeches and replace "1%" wth "Jew".
    1
  1848. Grinda Mcblasty Do you even know what the fuck "cognitive dissonance" is? Here's an example. A socialist running on a blatant copy of the National Socialist German Workers Party platform, (just replace Jew with 1%) and you call his opponent a Nazi.
    1
  1849. The Bee Factory Are you going to deny that the KKK was the militant wing of the Democratic party?
    1
  1850. The Bee Factory Really? So the Dixiecrats were "right wingers" the DNC Senator who was an active Klan recruiter and in the Senate until 2010 was "right wing"? Go fuck yourself you historical revisionist. Fun fact. The GOP voted for the Civil Rights Act at a rate 2:1 compared to Demokkkrats.
    1
  1851. Grinda Mcblasty Yes... Because a slight difference makes a world of sense. Do you know how many immigrants from non-English speaking countries changed their names in the 19th and early 20th centuries?
    1
  1852. Grinda Mcblasty We did before. Worked great. Go look up the origin of the first line of the Marine Corps Hymn.
    1
  1853. Grinda Mcblasty Right... You mean the same Russian and Chinese military who couldn't even get a plane in the air against our air force? The same Russia and China that don't have a working carrier between them? (We have over 20 operational carriers, 10 of them super carriers that outmatch anything afloat.) Oh, and who are we in "debt" to exactly? How are they going to make us pay?
    1
  1854. Grinda Mcblasty No... Simple logic. A loan is only a loan when you have the ability to get someone to pay you back. Otherwise, it's a gift.
    1
  1855. Perseverance Fucktard, we WON the Vietnam war. What we lost was the peace afterwards. North Vietnam signed a peace treaty called the Paris Accords.
    1
  1856. Michael Threet The Paris Accords indicate otherwise. Just because the Democrats sold South Vietnam down the river by arbitrarily withdrawing troops and defunding the military aid we promised them (sort of like they did decades later in Iraq and created ISIS) does not mean we lost. I bet you think the Tet offensive was a major win for the NVA.
    1
  1857. Quez Gord It's not "free" fucktard. Somebody has to pay for it. There is no such thing as a free lunch. In a free country, I don't have to work to pay for somebody else's shit. We had that about 150 years back. It was called slavery.
    1
  1858. Quez Gord I'll take Cruz or Trump. Primarily because the SJW and illegal immigration issues are completely out of hand. Both candidates can be trusted to reduce government crippling of the economy through needless regulation and excessive taxation. In addition, both will severely curtail handouts to the lazy at taxpayer expense. Note how Obama completely failed to keep the Ferguson and Baltimore riots in check. Instead, he decided that he was going to pander to domestic terrorists. Not to mention his pandering to foreign terrorists by surrendering the middle east to ISIS and Iran.
    1
  1859. LiveDieTrolling Yeah... No. Citation needed. If he's going to kick the illegals and muslims out and make the tax code business friendly again, he'll do far more than just make America great. He'll make America unstoppable.
    1
  1860. LiveDieTrolling If the world is a "fucked up place" what rational reason do we have to import savages from it into the US? As for politicians being untrustworthy... I'll take the promises of a businessman over a federal felon who covered up her Husband's rapes or an open communist.
    1
  1861. LiveDieTrolling Again... You can't be racist against a nationality or a religion. Neither are, by definition, a race.
    1
  1862. LiveDieTrolling There is nothing wrong with discriminating agains people based on the effects of their beliefs and actions. Otherwise prisons would not exist.
    1
  1863. LiveDieTrolling Except that's not what he said. What he said is that it's not the good people of Mexico coming across the border, it's mostly the murderers and the rapists. Which is... 1. True 2. Not in any way biassed. So you're full of shit.
    1
  1864. LiveDieTrolling Or we could mine the shit out of it, that works to... Also, what the fuck do you think CBP's job IS?
    1
  1865. Well, ten years later and Anbar province still looks like the utter shit hole I remember.
    1
  1866. Oh look, a bunch of entitled cunts don't like democracy.... Fuck off. If you want to be in the EU so badly, feel free to renounce your UK citizenship.
    1
  1867. Cosmo1093 1. Bullshit. You have no idea what workers do in a modern factory. 2. "collaborative" robots suck balls. They are basically glorified, but extremely limited, pick and place machines. 3.Yeah... No. Have you ever been inside a factory?
    1
  1868. Cosmo1093 Our exports are things countries can't get anywhere else. What are they going to do? The other beauty is the fact that we are the world's only superpower. People trade on our terms, or not at all.
    1
  1869. andizle123 You've never worked in manufacturing? Have you? The cost of labor is a ROUNDING ERROR in production costs.
    1
  1870. Cosmo1093 Yeah... I'm sure a fucktard who thinks that robots can replace people in 21st century manufacturing knows all about economics and how tariffs work.
    1
  1871. andizle123 So... again... you think that a Chinese peasant who is barely literate is a better employee than an American? Really? Boy, you've never worked with Chinese suppliers, have you? Reshoring is a thing for a reason and has been for almost a decade. It just needs a nudge.
    1
  1872. Cosmo1093 Yeah... You've never worked with robots either, have you? Driving a car is infinitely simpler than a lot of these functions.
    1
  1873. Cosmo1093 Ok... Obviously you've never actually worked with a real AGV... Unlike you, I've actually programmed the laser scanner systems that are used for AGV guidance. The things are useful, but hardly on the level of what you claim. For the record, my company makes the most versatile scanning system on the market, so I think I might know just a tad bit more than some code monkey who has never actually worked in a real automation environment. Machine learning is just as much of a pipe dream today as it was a decade ago. Someone has to teach the machine every possible permutation that it's likely to encounter. Do you know how many variables you have to account for? I've seen a $100k machine vision system go haywire because the factory replaced their overhead lighting. Do you know how many man hours it took to track down and correct the issue? Again kiddo, go work in real factory automation for a few years. I hear Omron, Keyence, and Fanuc are hiring.
    1
  1874. learningtotowerrush Oh... I don't know... How about massive fines and jail time for their CEOs? The reality is that China has used access to their market to strong arm companies into far worse things. Why shouldn't we?
    1
  1875. learningtotowerrush Except that then they lose access to the largest market in the world. It's the same reason western companies haven't told the CCP to pound sand when the Chinese are stealing their IP and very companies out from under them.
    1
  1876. learningtotowerrush Yeah... Again... CHINA is doing far worse than a few measly import tariffs.
    1
  1877. learningtotowerrush The Great Depression has many causes. First amongst them was FDR's socialism destroying the economic certainty necessary to recover from a recession and keep from sliding into depression.
    1
  1878. learningtotowerrush There was a market crash, yes, but those are cyclic. The crash was the start of the decline, not the cause.
    1
  1879. Patrick Cox Not quite. It wasn't just a US decline. It was a world-wide decline due to WWI. What happened, however, is that the socialist governments made the decline WORSE by blaming big business for the fact that the government had more or less hijacked the entire economy for the better part of a decade and then never bothered to fix the things they jacked up. The "boom" of the "roaring 20s" was largely a temporary effect due to the quick fixes governments and the private sector put in place to cover up the gigantic hole that WWI put in the economy. A few professors at UCLA actually estimate that FDR's "New Deal" policies extended the Great Depression several years.
    1
  1880. Patrick Cox Socialism is inherently a horrible policy. It's like asking if there was ever a situation where Nazism was "good". Socialists killed over 100 million people in the 20th century alone.
    1
  1881. Patrick Cox Yes... Because that's totally the same thing as deliberate genocide. Capitalism has never killed anyone. Why? Because it's not a form of government fucktard.
    1
  1882. learningtotowerrush Yeah... No. Socialism is not about collecting taxes, it's bout how the government chooses to use those taxes. Do you even polli-sci bro?
    1
  1883. learningtotowerrush You don't know what socialism is, do you?
    1
  1884. learningtotowerrush Let me explain this to you. Socialism is the DIRECT TRANSFER of assets or services from those who work to those that do not under threat of government coercion. For example... Welfare == Socialism (an individual gets cash directly) Roads != Socialism (no single individual benefits)
    1
  1885. learningtotowerrush Wow... Yes, you are a total libtard. You think the US imports energy or even needs to.
    1
  1886. learningtotowerrush Check the latest data fucktard. The US has been a net EXPORTER of petroleum products since the mid 2000s.
    1
  1887. learningtotowerrush Not really. It benefits the country doing the taxes, either as a source of income or as a way to prop up domestic industries. I think there should be a massive tariff on China proportional to the difference in our respective minimum wages.
    1
  1888. Onixpected (DeFy Touch) Oh really? What percentage of mass shootings vs what percentage of the population is Muslim. Me thinks far more than 2% of "mass shootings" are carried out by the durka durka brigade.
    1
  1889. Onixpected (DeFy Touch) Yeah... Going back to 1980 fucktard. How about we talk about current events.
    1
  1890. Onixpected (DeFy Touch) Ah... Using Mother Jones as a source. What was Durka Durka Times not available for comment?
    1
  1891. unmissedrose No. Now get the fuck out.
    1
  1892. BrewOfJoe Do we take away people's rights when they haven't even been indicted for a crime? Listen to yourself. By your logic, Trump would be running unopposed.
    1
  1893. ***** Yeah... Islam is the religion of peace. If you disagree, they'll fucking kill you.
    1
  1894. BellaMafiaBabyy Yeah... Because clearly Islamic terrorist attacks are not an issue... Fuck off.
    1
  1895. Ruben Nieto So... Basically the kind practiced by 90%+ of muslims worldwide?
    1
  1896. Ruben Nieto Fucktard. 80% of muslims world wide support Sharia. Go fuck yourself.
    1
  1897. Goldie Dee Please explain why we should let in people from a country we are at war with. Did we let Germans in to the country during WWI? What about Japanese during WWII? It's fucking retarded.
    1
  1898. kr00m Yeah... When did we start fighting Germany? Me thinks it was in 1941... Oh... Wait... That would mean that an equivalent Syrian "refugee" would need to have left in... 2004.
    1
  1899. Goldie Dee They pissed us off. Welcome to superpower foreign policy.
    1
  1900. Goldie Dee No, but it will let us nuke the shit out of the people responsible. That WILL stop another 9/11.
    1
  1901. Goldie Dee No, just concerned that you're not making me a sandwich and think you have opinions that anybody gives a shit about. I like mine with the brown spicy mustard.
    1
  1902. Goldie Dee That's cute you learned insults. So, about that sandwich?
    1
  1903. Goldie Dee Wow... You're like the worst woman ever. Expect to be traded in for a newer model.
    1
  1904. scaryfaced1 Given that he's supposed to be poor... That's a good question. I think that my priorities might not include an expensive toy for my kid.
    1
  1905. scaryfaced1 That's right. I work for my shit, so should they.
    1
  1906. Joker Gijjome The point is that if they have money to buy a phone for this kid, they have enough money not to leech off of tax payers.
    1
  1907. Declan Newton It does when they suck tax money and bump actually productive immigrants out of line.
    1
  1908. Declan Newton If they were productive, they would not need tax subsidies and the elimination of the program would be a non-issue.

  1911. Ricardo Alvarez I also wouldn't be demanding a government handout... Funny that.

  1912. Ricardo Alvarez That would be this video. The entire point is that they are upset that the spigot of government money is being turned off. If they don't want to go to the US, why do they come here? There are plenty of muslim countries much closer.

  1913. ***** So why didn't they stay in Turkey where there was no war?

  1914. ***** No, they GAVE UP their country like cowards. Big difference.

  1915. Jassy Feilds The point is that if you have money for a phone you aren't a fucking refugee. I hate to brake it to you, but nobody who comes to the US is a "refugee" we're not bordering any war zones and you stop being a refugee the second you hit a country that's not at war.

  1916. Jassy Feilds Actually, you stop being a refugee the second you leave the country you fled from and reach a safe country. If you then move to a third country, you're a migrant. Go look up the relevant international law.

  1917. Jassy Feilds Yes... I must have missed that day in law school where they told us we could use Webster's as a shortcut to get around laws and treaties.

  1918. Jassy Feilds Rutgers, Newark is a rancid shit hole, but with the GI bill I could at least afford it.

  1919. Poroshenko is like a classical tinpot dictator. Instead of a fake general's dress uniform, he's wearing a fake general's field uniform. Tell more more about what walks like a Junta, talks like a Junta...

  1920. Exactly how do you plan to "plant" DNA? It's not like the sample can be even used that way.

  1921. James McKee Yeah... Not in this timeline.

  1922. ***** In that case, why do they need the DNA in the first place?
    1
  1923. ***** ... and you think the DNA processing lab will look at an obvious cheek swab sample (HINT: The cells are rather distinctive.) and LIE that it's some sort of trace evidence? If they are going to do that, I repeat my question, why would they need DNA in the first place?
    1
  1924. ***** Not likely... The sample composition would be completely different. A spit sample contains plaque, for example. Then there's the fact that the sample is ON A CHEEK SWAB and there is no effective way to transfer it.
